There are a variety of different types of bandsaw blades on the market to suit various cutting applications. Your

results may vary based on usage, experience and personal preference. Ask your local tool dealer for suggestions

for bandsaw blades in 0.035” (0,9 mm) thickness and 3/4” (19 mm) width x 93” (2360 mm) length.

Note: Generally speaking, because one wheel height is somewhat adjustable (to allow for blade tension-

ing), a blade length variation of plus or minus 1/2” from the “ideal blade length” can be accommodated.

MAKE SURE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORM-

ING ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENTS.

3. Remove the metal brush with a Phillips screwdriver

as shown.

4. Carefully remove the blade from the wheels.

THE SAW BLADES ARE SHARP, HANDLE THEM CARE-

FULLY AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PROTECTIVE

GLOVES IF NECESSARY TO AVOID INJURY.
