Changing The Blade - Charnwood W715 Operating Instructions Manual

Your bandsaw is now ready for use but it is recommended that it be bolted to a bench and
that a suitable dust extractor is connected.

Changing the Blade

Bandsaw blades are sharp enough to cause injury even when too blunt to cut wood! It is
recommended that protective gloves be worn when handling blades.
Unplug the bandsaw from the mains socket, slacken off the blade tension and open the
upper and lower housing doors with the aid of a suitable screwdriver.
Remove the rip fence carrier.
This bandsaw is equipped with a rip fence
and a cross cut/mitre fence which can be
fitted as shown.
The rip fence may be used on either side of
the blade and may also serve as a length
stop for repetitive cross or mitre cuts.
Loosen the bolt and swing the
lower blade guard out of the
way.
