Replacing The Blade
DANGER!
Always shut off the sawmill motor before changing the
blade. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
WARNING!
Always wear gloves and eye protection whenever
handling bandsaw blades. Changing blades is safest when done by
one person! Keep all other persons away from work area when
changing blades. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
Raise the blade housing cover. Turn the blade tension handle to release the blade tension until the
wheel is pulled in and the blade is lying loose in the blade housing. Lift the blade out of the blade
housing.
When installing a blade, make sure the teeth are pointing the correct direction. The teeth should be
pointing toward the operator side of the mill when you are looking at the blade below the blade
guides. Install the blade so it is lying around the wheels.
Position 1 1/4” wide blades on the wheels so the gullet is 3.0 mm (± 1.0 mm) out from the front edge
of the wheel.
