7. Loosen the bolt securing the air cylinder to the bandsaw
with an 8 mm hex wrench until the door can open. Make
sure the bolt is still secure enough to hold the air
cylinder in place — letting the air cylinder hang adds
extra strain to the wires.

the blade cover up until it clears the base casting.
