Blade Installation Blade comes pre-installed; however should it become loose in shipment or need to be replaced, follow these instructions. 1) Turn power OFF and unplug from electrical outlet. Open the band saw cover by loosening the knobs on the front of the saw and removing front panel. 2) Remove table alignment screw and wing nut. 3) Loosen blade tensioning knob, located at the top of the band saw (Fig.3) until blade has give. 4) Pull downward on the upper blade wheel (Fig.4) and remove worn blade. Install the new blade by centering it on the lower blade wheel (Fig.5), then on the center wheel and finally on the upper wheel. 5) Ensure blade is centered and fits between the blade guides located on the upper guide block and the lower block under the table. (refer to section D - Band Saw Use and Maintenance: Blade Guide Adjustment).6) Tighten blade by turning blade tensioning knob clockwise (Fig.3) (refer to section C - Band Saw Use and Maintenance: Blade Tensioning). 7) If necessary, adjust table position to re-center blade in the table opening. WARNING: If the diamond blade is too loose, it can slip from the wheels. If stretched too tight, it could break. C. Water Systems 1) Place the water reservoir on a solid level work surface. Place reservoir underneath the lip located on the right side of the saw base (Fig.6). 2) Insert brass pump valve into the top of the recirculating water pump. Place pump in the water reservoir (Fig.7). 3) Plug pump’s electrical connector into the outlet on the rear of the saw (Fig.8). 5) Fill the reservoir with 2” of water before use (approximately 3 quarts). 6) To test pump, the saw must be turned ON. Be sure the blade has been properly installed and there are no obstructions to interfere with its operation and blade movement. DO NOT attempt to touch the blade or blade wheels while the machine is turned ON. 7) Test pump and water flow by turning machine ON. The blade should not be moving; be sure reostat is turned to “0”. Watch for bubbles in the hose. Water should begin to flow freely from the water nozzle mounted on the upper blade guide block assembly. To insure water flow is directed at the front edge of the blade, just below the guide assembly, adjust position of water nozzle by loosening the set screw (Fig.9). 8) If large pockets of air appear in the hose line, this may stop the flow of water to the blade. If this occurs, prime the pump by tipping it on its side and allow the intake to draw in air through the line. Then return the intake grill into the water and watch for the water to fill the line. Small air bubbles may persist in the line but these will not interfere with sufficient flow to the blade. WARNING: Never operate saw if there is insufficient water at the point of cutting, as this will cause damage to the blade.
