being removed:
• Fit the new blade ensuring the blade teeth are pointing
downwards and towards you at the position where the
blade passes through the table.
• Ensuring that the blade is fully in place on bandwheel.
Simply re-apply tension using the tensioning knob.
• Fine adjust the blade tension further if required using the
blade tensioning knob.
6. Check the blade tracking on the newly fitted blade by
turning the upper wheel by hand. The blade should run
as close to the centre of the bandwheel as possible.
On 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" blades it may be necessary to
run the blade to rear of the bandwheel (see section 6.2.)
7. If required adjust the tracking using tracking knob
(15) and lock knob to the rear of the upper bandwheel
housing. When the tracking is correct lock the setting
(see section 6.2).
8. Re-set the blade guides (see sections 6.3 & 6.4)
9. Close and lock both the bandwheel doors before re
connecting the power supply.
For further information on blade tensioning see section 6.1.
