Changing the Blade
NOTE: The procedure described is applicable to all Air Saws but may not visually reflect some
saw models.
REMOVING THE BLADE
Wear gloves to protect hands while
changing blades. Band Saw blades are extremely sharp
and can cause serious cuts, amputation, or death unless
necessary precautions are taken.
1. Adjust the Upper Stop Limit Collar to raise
the arm about 6”, or enough that the band wheel
doors can be opened over the vise. In some
cases, especially if the saw is equipped with
optional top clamps, it may be easier to swing
the arm slightly to a miter position, if it is a
mitering band saw.
2. FOR MANUAL AIR SAWS: Place the ARM Switch into the
“LIFT” position on the control panel to raise the arm to the
position previously set by the Upper Stop Limit Collar.
