n Carefully remove the old blade.

n Wearing gloves, carefully uncoil the blade at arms length.

If the new blade was oiled to prevent rusting, it may need

to be wiped to keep the oil from your workpiece. Carefully

wipe in the same direction the teeth are pointing so the

rag does not catch on the teeth of the saw blade.

NOTE: The blade may need to be turned inside out if the

teeth are pointing in the wrong direction. Hold the blade

with both hands and rotate it inward.

NOTE: It may be necessary to release more tension with

the blade tension knob for the new blade to fit.

n Thread the blade through the saw table.

n With the teeth of the blade toward the front of the saw

and facing downward, place the blade through the lower

blade guides and around the lower wheel.

n Slowly turn the upper wheel to the right or clockwise by

hand to center the blade on the rubber tires.

n Reengage the RapidSet™ blade tension lever then adjust

the blade tension. Check blade tracking and adjust if

needed.

n Adjust both upper and lower blade guides and thrust

bearings.

n Reattach the aligning bolt, washer, and wing nut. Tighten

securely.

n Reattach the blade guard.

n Close front cover.

ADJUSTING BLADE GUIDE ASSEMBLY

See Figures 23 - 24.

WARNING:

The blade guides have been preset at the factory.

These settings are functional for some applications. We

recommend that you check and adjust blade guide

settings before first use of your saw. Refer to “Adjusting

thrust bearings, blade guide support, and blade guides”

procedures explained in the adjustments section of this

operator’s manual.

To prevent the blade from twisting or breaking, the blade

guide assembly should always be set approximately 1/8 in.

(3 mm) above the workpiece.

n Turn the blade guide lock knob counterclockwise to

unlock the blade guide assembly.

n As a guide, use a scrap piece of the same wood you are

about to cut to set the height of the blade guide assembly.

Adjust the blade guide assembly by turning the blade

guide knob.

n Lock blade guide assembly in place by turning the blade

guide lock knob clockwise.

n Always lock the blade guide assembly in place before

turning on the band saw.
