TO INSTALL BLADE (FIG. 2, 3, 5–7)
1. Position the blade so that the teeth are on the bottom and angled
toward the work stop, as shown in Figures 2 and 5.
2. Slip the blade into the guide rollers, as shown in Figure 6.
3. Holding the blade in the guide rollers, place it around both pulleys
(L) and through the work stop (F), as shown in Figure7.
4. Make sure that the blade is fully inserted into the guide rollers and
positioned squarely against the rubber tires.
5. Rotate the blade tension lever (I) counterclockwise until it stops
and then gently turn the saw over so that the pulleys rest on your
work bench or table. Make sure the teeth face away from the band
saw (Fig. 2, 5).
6. Turn the saw on and off a few times to ensure that the blade is
seated properly.
