REMOVING/INSTALLING THE BLADE
Your bandsaw is designed to handle several blade widths ranging from 1/4” and 3/8” used for tight radius curves,
up to 1/2” and 3/4” for larger radius curves or for cutting thicker stock.
To remove a blade:
1.
Turn off the bandsaw and unplug the power cord.
2.
Pull up on the tension lever toward the left (90º position)
to loosen the tension on the blade. It may be necessa-
ry to also turn the tension knob counter-clockwise
for
the blade to be loose enough to remove easily.
BLADE CLEARANCE
Note: When performing blade installation, removal, tensioning or tracking, maximum clearance between the blade
and both upper and lower bearing assemblies is required to minimize friction, which would be damaging to the blade.
Proceed as follows:
Move the upper blade guides away from the blade: (See Fig. 21)
1.
Loosen the two Allen bolts
with the 5 mm Allen key pro-
vided.
2.
Slide the two blade guides along the elongated hole in
the mounting bracket
, as far away as possible from the
blade.
3.
Tighten the two Allen bolts to lock the blade guides in po-
sition.
Move the upper thrust bearing back: (See Fig. 21)
1.
Loosen the upper thumb screw
.
2.
Use the micro adjust nut
to move the thrust bearing
back until it is as far as possible behind the blade.
Move the lower blade guides and thrust bearing away from the
blade: (See Fig. 22)
Fig. 21
Fig. 22
1.
Loosen the two Allen bolts
with the 5 mm Allen key provided.
2.
Slide the two blade guides along the elongated hole in the mounting bracket
, as far away as possible
from the blade.
3.
Tighten the two Allen bolts to lock the blade guides in position.
4.
Loosen the set screw
with the 3 mm Allen key provided.
5.
Manually move the lower thrust bearing
back as far as possible behind the blade.
Note: For blade tension quick release, pull up on the tension
lever toward the left (90º position
) .
For quick blade tension-
ing, push the tension lever down
(0º position
)
.
To avoid damaging the tensioning mechanism never force the
tension lever beyond 90º vertical
or 0º horizontal
.
