7.4 Adjusting 90-degree table stop
Before adjusting the 90º table stop, the blade
tension must be properly adjusted (see sect. 7.7)

1. Loosen lock handle (D, Figure 7-4) and use
knob (E) to tilt table until it rests against table
stop bolt (F, not visible). Retighten lock handle.
2. Use a square (Figure 7-5) placed on table and
against blade to verify that table is 90 degrees
to blade.
3. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen lock
handle (D). Tilt table until it is square to blade;
then retighten lock handle.

7.5 Leveling table insert
Remove table insert to expose set screws in the
table ledge. Rotate screws as needed (2mm hex
key) until insert sits flush with table surface.
7.6 Installing/changing blades
Wear gloves when handling
blades. New blades are usually packaged in
coiled position; to prevent injury uncoil them
slowly and carefully while wearing work gloves
and safety glasses.
See sect. 4.0 for specific blade sizes for your model
Band Saw.
Refer to Figures 7-6, 7-7 and 7-8.
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Loosen handle and remove it from table (see
HP6, Figure 5-3).
3. Adjust upper and lower blade guides away from
blade (see sections 7.11 through 7.13).
4. Move quick tension lever to “Full Release
(Blade Change)” position.
5. Open upper and lower doors by rotating door
knobs.
6. Pivot guidepost cover out of the way (Figure 7-
6).
7. Swing lower guard (H, Figure 7-7) to the left. Tilt
table slightly if more clearance is needed to
swing guard.
8. Remove dust block (J, Figure 7-8).
9. Carefully remove blade from top wheel, then
from between upper and lower blade guides
and lower wheel. Slide blade out through slot in
table.
10. Guide new blade through table slot. Place blade
loosely in upper and lower blade guides. Make
sure blade teeth point down toward table, and
toward front of saw.
(If the teeth will not point down, no matter how
you orient blade, then blade is inside-out. Twist
it into correct position and re-install it.)
