BLADE REMOVAL
1. With the blade change mode key switch in ‘OFF’, the blade stopped and the hydraulics ON, raise the saw head
until the drive door will clear the electrical control panel.
2. Move the guide arm out to provide room between the two guide arms to easily grasp the blade with
two hands, BUT DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE UNTIL THE BLADE CHANGE MODE SWITCH IS TURNED TO
THE ‘ON’ POSITION.
3. Turn the blade change key switch to the ‘ON’ position. The hydraulics will continue to run, but only the blade
tension switch is functional. The blade wheel doors can be opened without the hydraulics shutting down.
4. Open both blade wheel doors.
5. Release the blade tension by turning the switch briefly to ‘ – ‘. By jogging the switch
between ‘HOLD’ and ‘ – ‘, it is possible to regulate the degree of tension on the blade.
6. Pull the top strand of the blade up, out of its slot above the cutting area and forward out of the slots on the inside
walls of the blade wheel housings.
7. Pull the lower strand of the blade down out of the blade guides.
8. Store and dispose of the used blade.
BLADE INSTALLATION
NOTES ABOUT NEW BLADES
•
A new blade will come folded into a compact coil. Follow the blade manufacturer’s instructions for safely
unfolding the blade.
•
The blade must be installed with the teeth facing towards the rear of the saw where it passes around the wheels,
and with the teeth in the cutting area pointing away the drive wheel. This may require that the blade be turned
inside out before installation.
1. With the blade change mode key switch remaining in the ‘ON’ position, turn the blade tension switch to the ‘ – ‘
position for several seconds until the idler wheel has fully retracted.
2. Insert the lower strand of the new blade into the blade guides.
3. Lift the upper strand of the blade up into its slot above the cutting area, and place it around the blade wheels.
4. Turn the blade tension switch briefly to ‘ +/RUN’ and then leave it in ‘HOLD’ to retain the blade lightly on the
wheels.
5. Adjust the blade position on the wheels so that the blade is not crooked on them and the teeth overhang the back
edge of the wheels.
6. Turn the blade tension switch to ‘ +/RUN’.
7. Close both blade wheel doors.
8. Turn the blade change mode key switch to the ‘OFF’ position. The hydraulics will shut down.
9. Switch the hydraulics on, then start the blade and run for 20 seconds.
10. Stop the blade.
11. Turn the blade change key switch to the ‘ON’ position.
12. Open the blade wheel doors and inspect the blade tracking, plus the position of the blade brush. Refer to the
manual for tracking adjustments.
13. Close the blade wheel doors and turn the blade change mode key to the ‘OFF’ position.
14. Blade change procedure is now complete.
