Blade.Change
Blades should be changed when they become dull,
damaged, or when operation requires a different blade.
To.change.the.blade.on.the.bandsaw,.do.these.steps:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Raise the head of the bandsaw to the vertical
position, use head locking pin to hold in place, then
remove wheel access cover.
3. Loosen the tension knob and slip blade off wheels.
4. Install new blade through both blade guide bearings,
as shown in Figure.41, around bottom wheel.
5. Hold the blade around bottom wheel with one
hand and slip it around top wheel with other hand,
keeping the blade between the blade guide bearings.
Note: It is sometimes possible to flip blade inside
out, in which case blade will be installed in wrong
direction. Check to make sure blade teeth are
facing toward workpiece, as shown in Figure 42,
after mounting to bandsaw. Some blades will have a
directional arrow as a guide.
6. When blade is around both wheels, adjust position
so back of blade is against shoulder of wheels (see
Figure.43).
7. Tighten tension knob so blade will not slip on wheels
upon start up.
8. Connect the bandsaw to the power source.
