12. CHANGING THE BLADE SPEED
This bandsaw has two blade speeds 1620 feet/min for
hardwoods, some plastics and certain nonferrous metals and
3340 feet/rain for all other timber.
The lower bandwheei has two, integral, multi-vee form pulleys and
the motor shaft has a twin multi-vee form pulley.
The drive belt passes around the bandwheel pulley, the motor
pulley and the tension wheel. The belt tension is released and
applied by using the cranked t_andle. This moves the tension
wheel and allows the speed to be changed.(See FIG.25)
Before changing the speed always make sure the machine has
been unplugged from the electrical supply,
13. CHANGING THE DRKVE BELT
a, Release the saw blade tension by iurning the blade tension
knob on the top of bandsaw counterclockwise.
b. Released the belt tension by using the crank handle.
c. Using C-clip pliers (not provided) remove the retaining dng from
the center of the lower wheel,
d, Carefully slide the lower wheel forward and at the same time
release the saw blade frem this wheel.
e. Remove the old drive belt and fit the new belt. (ensure ribs in
drive belt are seated correctly before reassembling and tensioning
the drive belt)
