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 on the blade wheels. When installing the blade, make sure the teeth are pointing
the correct direction. The teeth located between the blade guide assemblies should be pointing
toward the sawdust chute.
Position 1 1/4” wide blades on the wheels so the gullet is 1/8" (3.0 mm) out from the front edge of the
wheel. Position 1 1/2” wide blades on the wheels so the gullet is 3/16” (4.5 mm) out from the front
edge of the wheel.
Close the blade housing cover.
Next, turn the tension handle until the blade is tensioned correctly.

Tensioning The Blade
See Figure 3-9.
Turn the blade tension handle clockwise until the tension gauge indicates the
recommended tension. Check the blade tension occasionally when adjusting the cant control or
while cutting. As the blade and belts heat up and stretch, the blade tension will change.
Also, ambient temperature changes can cause tension to change.
