Changing the saw blade
1. Open the upper and lower blade pulley wheel covers.
2. Remove the screw from the end of
the saw blade.
3. Turn the blade tension knob (4)
anticlockwise until the blade comes loose.
4. First put on a pair of work gloves and then carefully remove the blade from the saw, the teeth are very sharp.
5. Fit the new blade in reverse order making sure that the teeth are pointing down towards the table.
6. Tension the blade as directed in “Setting up the blade tension and tracking”.
7. If necessary, adjust the blade guides as directed in “Setting up the blade guides”.
Changing the speed/drive belt
1. Remove the blade; refer to “Changing the saw blade”.
2. The motor is fastened by two bolts on the back of the saw.
3. Undo the two bolts so the motor can be
moved and the belt loosened.
4. The blade speed can be changed by moving
the drive belt between drive pulley wheels.
The outer pulley wheels (as in fig.) move the blade
at 660 m/min and the inner wheels (see arrows)
move the blade at 960 m/min.
