3.2 Replacing The Blade
DANGER! Always disengage the blade and shut off the
sawmill motor before changing the blade. Disconnect the
power supply using the main switch. Failure to do so will
result in serious injury.
WARNING! Always wear gloves and eye protection when
handling bandsaw blades. Changing blades is safest when
done by one person! Keep all other persons away from
area when coiling, uncoiling, carrying or changing a blade.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
Adjust the blade guide arm all the way open.
Open the blade housing cover. Turn the blade tension handle to release the blade tension
until the wheel is pulled in and the blade is lying loose in the blade housing. Lift the blade
out of the blade housing.
Install a new blade on the blade wheels. When installing the blade, make sure the teeth
are pointing the correct direction. The teeth located between the blade guide assemblies
should be pointing toward the sawdust chute.
Position 1 1/4” wide blades on the wheels so the gullet is 1/8" (3.0 mm) out from the front
edge of the wheel. Position 1 1/2” wide blades on the wheels so the gullet is 3/16” (4.5
mm) out from the front edge of the wheel.
Close the blade housing cover.
Next, turn the tension handle until the blade is tensioned correctly.
