2.4 Replacing The Blades
DANGER! Always shut off the machine motors before
changing the blades. 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.
Move the control box arm and next open 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.
Install a new blade around the two blade wheels so that the teeth located between the
blade guide assemblies point to the infeed table. Make sure the teeth are pointing the
correct direction.
Position 1 1/4” wide blades on the wheels so the gullet is 3.0 mm (0.12”) (± 1.0 mm
(0.04”)) out from the front edge of the wheel.
