BLADE CHANGING PROCEDURE
NOTE: Wear gloves for protection from the sharp blade.
1. Open the Idler Wheel and Drive Wheel doors and swing the head to 45 degrees as this will make it easier
to grip the blade closer to both wheels.
2. Loosen the Blade Tensioner by turning counter clockwise.
3. Loosen the carbide tension handles by turning counter clockwise 1/4 turn.
4. At the top of the head, the saw blade runs in a protective channel as shown below. Grip the blade at each
end of this channel and twist the blade teeth down past the channel and slide the blade forward. Let the blade
rest on the out feed table, then slide the blade down and out of the carbide guides.
