To install a new blade on a Craftsman 101.2290 bandsaw:
1. Unplug the saw to ensure safety. 2. Remove the blade covers to access the wheels and blade path. 3. Release blade tension using the tension adjustment mechanism. 4. Remove the old blade carefully. 5. Install the new blade around the wheels and through the blade guides, ensuring the teeth face the correct direction (usually down and toward the cutting area). 6. Apply proper tension using the tension adjustment. The blade should be tight enough to "ring" when lightly struck. 7. Check blade tracking by rotating the wheels by hand and adjusting tracking if needed. 8. Replace the blade covers and plug in the saw. 9. Test the saw at low speed to ensure proper operation.
Make sure the blade is properly aligned and tensioned to prevent it from coming off during use.
