5. Slip the old Saw Blade off the Upper
Blade Wheel (41), Lower Blade
Wheel (57), and Guide assemblies.
6. Place the new Saw Blade between each of the
Guide assemblies and around the Upper Blade
Wheel and Lower Blade Wheel.
IMpORTANT: The teeth must be pointing
downward toward the Motor.
NOTE:
The Band Saw is equipped with a 64-1/2″
diameter, 0.025″ thick, 1/2″ wide, 14 teeth per inch
Saw Blade. The machine will also accept Blades in
4, 6, 8, and 10 tooth sizes. The choice of Blade pitch
is determined by the thickness of the material to be
cut. The thinner the workpiece, the greater the number
of teeth required for proper cutting. A minimum of
3 teeth should engage the workpiece at all times.
cAUTION!
If the teeth of the Saw Blade are so far
apart that they straddle the workpiece, severe damage
to the workpiece and/or Saw Blade will result.
7. Tighten the tension on the new Saw Blade by
turning the Blade Tension Adjusting Knob.
8. Close the Blade Back Cover. and secure
with the Screw and Flat Washer.
