Caveat
Disconnect the band saw from the power source when changing or adjusting blades.
Wear leather gloves when handling band saw blades. Do not wear gloves when using
the saw.
•
Turn the blade tension lever on the back of the tool clockwise until it locks into
position to release blade tension (see Figure 9).
•
Release two latches on the side of the tool and open the top and bottom doors.
Note: When opening the doors, make sure the latches are completely clear of tabs in the frame.
•
Remove the table lock pin located at the front of the table slot, take out the loose
blade and replace it with another blade.
Saw Blade Installation
• Although most settings do not change when the blade is removed, each setting
should be checked before using a newly installed blade.
• Make sure the blade teeth point toward the table. Turn the blade inside out if
necessary.
•
Slide the new blade into the slot in the table and over the upper and lower blade
wheels. Slide the blade between the blade guards.
•
Tension the blade by turning the saw blade tension screw (1) counterclockwise
as far as it will go (see Fig. 9).
This is a spring-loaded tensioning mechanism and will automatically apply the required
tension to the blade.
•
Use the tension screw to make fine adjustments to the saw blade tension.
• Close the doors and fasten the latches.
Note: When closing the doors, make sure the edges try to secure the door. This is necessary for
the proper function of the dust collection system. The latches will not hold the doors and frame
together.
•
Install the table insert.
• Follow the sheet as described in the following sections
Saw blade tracking (Fig. 9-12)
Caveat
Be very careful as a misguided blade can come off the wheels and cause serious injury.
Do not make the tracking adjustment while the band saw is running.
• Disconnect the band saw from the power source.
•
To check blade tracking, turn the drive wheel clockwise by hand. View the sheet
through the tracking window or peephole.
•
Proper tracking is achieved when the idlers are aligned. The blade tension lever
and screw located on the back of the tool frame is used to tilt the top wheel and
align the blade wheels.
•
If the blade comes out of the cabinet, turn the knob clockwise. If the blade drifts
into the cabinet, turn the knob counterclockwise.
• When the blade moves correctly, secure the position by tightening the nut.
sheet guides
• Blade guides support the blade on the sides and rear of the blade and prevent
twisting or skewing.
•
The blade guides must not touch the blade when no work piece is in contact with
the blade. Adjust the guides as described in the next section.
