                         THE OFF POSITION UNTIL ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE.

REMOVE THE BANDSAW BLADE

1.  Remove the bandsaw blade that is mounted on your machine.   

NOTE: 

Refer to your bandsaw’s original 

Operator’s Manual for instructions on the proper steps to safely perform this operation on your particular 

machine model.

INSTALLING THE UPPER BLADE GUIDES

Remove the original, upper blade guard that 

surrounds the blade above the table.

 

1.  Lower the upper blade guides until they touch 

the table. This will give the best access to the blade 

guard,  and make it easier to remove it from the saw 

frame.

2.  Remove the blade guard from the guide post by 

unscrewing the two Hex Socket Cap Screws that hold 

it in pla

ce. Figure 1. 

Save these screws as they will 

be needed to install the new guard that is included 

with the Retrofit Kit.
