PREPARATION & ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
To prevent injury from accidental operation, turn OFF and unplug the tool from
the power source before assembling or making any adjustments to the tool.
INSTALLING SAW BLADE (FIG. 2)
Your band saw is designed to fit saw blades 44-7/8”
long, 1/2” wide and 0.025” thick. Use the correct blade
size suitable for the material being cut. A 10/14 TPI saw
blade is included with your saw. Replacement blades can
be ordered from wenproducts.com by searching the part
number 94396B.
WARNING:
Saw blades are sharp. Wear work
gloves and safety goggles while handling the blades.
Inspect blades for cracks and missing teeth before
each use.
1. Turn the tension handle (Fig. 2 - 1) on the front side of
your saw clockwise to release the blade tension.
2. Flip the saw over to the back side. Hold the saw blade
with the blade teeth facing towards you, and insert it
between the two sets of guide bearings (Fig. 3 - 1). Make
sure the blade is fully seated between the guide bearings
- the spine of the blade should be in contact with the rear
thrust bearing.
3. Guide the blade around the two guide wheels and press
it inwards. Make sure the blade fits evenly around the
wheels.

4. Turn the tension handle (Fig. 2 - 1) counterclockwise all the way until the handle is tight. The blade
is now properly tensioned.
5. Put on eye and hearing protection, and hold the tool away from your body. Plug in and run the tool
with no load for a few minutes to inspect the blade and allow it to seat properly. Make sure the blade
runs evenly and steadily around the guide wheels.
