3.3 Replacing the Blade
DANGER! Always disengage the blade and shut off the sawmill
motor/engine 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. Keep all other persons away from area when coiling,
uncoiling, carrying or changing a blade. Changing blades is safest
when done by one person! Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
Turn the blade tensioner screw to decrease the blade tension until the blade is lying loose in the
blade housing. Lift the blade out of the blade housing.
Place a new blade loosely around the blade wheels. When installing the blade, make sure the teeth
are pointing the correct direction. Adjust the blade track as instructed in section ”Tracking the Blade”.
