4. When removing the blade, tension may be released and the
blade may spring free. SAW BLADES ARE SHARP. USE CARE
IN HANDLING THEM.
5. Inspect the guide rollers
which may be lodged in them. Lodged chips can prevent
rotation of the guide rollers and cause flat spots on the
guide rollers.
6. Rubber tires
are mounted on the pulleys

rubber tires should be inspected for looseness or damage
when changing the blade. Wipe any chips from the rubber
tires on the pulleys with a brush.

This will extend tire life and keep the blade from slipping.
If any looseness or damage occurs, the tool should be
brought to an authorised D
or replacement as soon as possible. Continued use of the
tool with loose or damaged rubber tires will cause unstable
travel of the band saw blade.
7. Close the blade guard and securely latch the two
blade guard latches. Rotate the blade tension lever
counterclockwise 180 degrees until it stops.
