- Otpuštanje napetosti: Turn the blade tension knob counter-clockwise to release tension.
- Remove Table and Lower Guide: Remove the aluminum table and lower the blade guide completely using the adjusting knob.
- Pregledajte oštricu: Before installing a new blade, carefully check it for any defects or damage. Use a new blade if any signs of damage are present.
- Instalirajte oštricu: Carefully place the blade around the upper and lower wheels. Ensure the blade teeth point downwards towards the table.
- Primijenite napetost: Turn the blade tension knob clockwise to apply tension. The bandsaw automatically adjusts blade tension, but fine-tuning may be performed.
- Lock Tension: Lock the replacement blade in place by turning the blade tension lever back.

Klip 4.2.2: This video illustrates how to adjust the blade tension. It shows turning the tension knob clockwise to add tension and demonstrates checking for proper tension by pressing the blade, allowing for approximately 3/8 inch (1 cm) of movement.
4.3 Blade Tracking Adjustment
Correct blade tracking ensures the blade runs centered on the wheels, preventing wear and improving cut quality.
- Uključeno: Plug in the bandsaw.
- Ručna rotacija: Manually rotate the drive wheel clockwise and observe the blade movement.

4.4 Blade Guide Adjustment
The blade guides prevent the blade from twisting during cuts. They must be properly spaced from the blade.
- Provjerite odobrenje: After tracking and tension are adjusted, ensure the blade has no contact with the upper or lower blade guides.
- Set Spacing: The blade guides should sit approximately 0.016 inches away from the blade. A folded dollar bill (folded twice) can be used as a gauge to achieve this spacing.
- Secure Guides: Tighten the guide pins or bearings to secure the spacing.
Klip 4.4.1: This video demonstrates how to adjust the blade guides. It shows checking for blade contact with the guides and using a folded dollar bill to set the correct 0.016-inch spacing between the blade and the guide pins/bearings.
