Clarke 6460133 CBS225 9 Inch Bandsaw Instructions

To change the blade, first unplug the bandsaw. Open the blade cover, loosen the blade tension knob, and carefully remove the old blade. Install the new blade, ensuring it is correctly seated on the wheels and adjust the tension accordingly.
Ensure the blade tension is correctly set and check that both wheels are aligned properly. Adjust the tracking knob to keep the blade centered on the wheels.
It is recommended to lubricate the blades every few weeks or after about 10 hours of use to ensure smooth operation and prolong blade life.
Regularly clean the bandsaw to remove dust and debris, check blade tension and alignment, lubricate moving parts, and inspect the blade for wear and damage.
Ensure the blade is sharp and properly tensioned. Adjust the guide bearings to support the blade and use a fence or miter gauge for straight cuts.
Check for loose parts or screws, ensure the blade is not damaged, and verify that the wheels are properly aligned and balanced.
Turn the tension knob clockwise to increase tension or counterclockwise to decrease it. The blade should flex slightly when pressed but not too much.
Ensure the table is square to the blade, check for blade wear or damage, and verify that the blade is tracking correctly on the wheels.
Ensure the ventilation openings are clear, the motor is not overloaded, and that the saw is not operating with a dull blade. Allow the motor to cool before use.
Yes, you can use different blade sizes, but ensure they are compatible with the machine's specifications, and adjust the tension and tracking as needed.
