4. Inspect the guide rollers (F) and remove any large chips which may
be lodged in them. Lodged chips can prevent rotation of the guide
rollers and cause flat spots on the guide rollers.
5. Rubber tires (P) are mounted on the pulleys (N). The rubber tires
should be inspected for looseness or damage when changing the
blade. Wipe any chips from the rubber tires on the pulleys. This will
extend tire life and keep the blade from slipping. If any looseness
or damage occurs, the tool should be brought to an authorized
D WALT service center for repair or replacement as soon as
e
possible. Continued use of the tool with loose or damaged rubber
tires will cause unstable travel of the band saw blade.
TO INSTALL BLADE (FIG. 2, 4, 7–9)
1. Position the blade so that the teeth are on the bottom and angled
toward the work stop, as shown in Figure 7.

2. Slip the blade into the guide rollers, as shown in Figure 8.
3. Holding the blade in the guide rollers, place it around both pulleys
(N, Fig. 4) and through the work stop (E), as shown in Figure 9.
4. Make sure that the blade is fully inserted into the guide rollers and
positioned squarely against the rubber tires.
5. Rotate the blade tension lever (I) counterclockwise until it stops
and then gently turn the saw over so that the pulleys rest on your
work bench or table. Make sure the teeth face away from the band
saw (Fig. 7).
6. Turn the saw on and off a few times to ensure that the blade is
seated properly.

Multi-Position Bail Handle (Fig. 2)
A bail handle (A) is provided for carrying the tool and for use as an
additional handle. Assemble the bail handle in one of the multi-
positions (forward, 22.5º, 45º, 47.5º or straight up) shown in Figure 2.
When adjusting the bail handle from one position to the other, loosen
the bail handle knob and move the handle to one of the three positions
and tighten knob.
WARNING: Make sure the bail handle knob is tightened and
bail handle is secure before using the saw.
