
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can causeinjury.
NOTICE: Excessive tightening of the adjustment screws
could result in damage to thesaw.
Your band saw is equipped with an adjustable blade tracking
mechanism which assures proper blade tracking at all times.
The blade is properly adjusted when it is sitting fully on rubber
tires
22
and lightly touching one or both of the rear guide
bearings
26
.
To Adjust the Blade Tracking
1. Turn and open the blade tension lever
8
to allow access to
the tracking screw
13
.
5. Slip blade into the guide rollers
21
and around both
pulleys
20
as shown in FigureC.
6. Make sure that the blade is fully inserted into the guide
rollers and positioned fully on the rubbertires
22
and just
touching the rear guide bearings
26
.
7. Rotate the blade tension lever
8
counterclockwise until it
stops and then close blade guard and secure latches. Make
sure the teeth face away from the band saw (Fig.A,C).
8. Turn the saw on and off a few times to ensure that the blade
is seatedproperly.
To Remove Blade (Fig.A, C–E)
1. Rotate the blade tension lever
8
clockwise 180degrees
until it stops to release tension in blade (refer to FigureA).
2. Turn the saw over and place it on a workbench ortable.
3. Unlatch the two blade guard latches and open the
bladeguard.
4. When removing the blade, tension may be released and the
blade may spring free. SAW BLADES ARE SHARP. USE CARE
IN HANDLINGTHEM.
5. Inspect the guide rollers
21
and remove any large chips
which may be lodged in them. Lodged chips can prevent
rotation of the guide rollers and cause flat spots on the
guiderollers.
6. Rubber tires
22
are mounted on the pulleys
20
. The
rubber tires should be inspected for looseness or damage
when changing the blade. Wipe any chips from the rubber
tires on the pulleys with abrush.
NOTE: Do not use your hands to wipechips.
This will extend tire life and keep the blade from slipping.
If any looseness or damage occurs, the tool should be
brought to an authorised DEWALT service centre for repair
or replacement as soon as possible. Continued use of the
tool with loose or damaged rubber tires will cause unstable
travel of the band sawblade.
7. Close the blade guard and securely latch the two
blade guard latches. Rotate the blade tension lever
8
counterclockwise 180degrees until itstops.
