Mounting the Bandsaw Blade (Fig. A, B, D1, D5, E1–E4)

WARNING: The teeth of a new blade are very sharp and can be dangerous.
1. Unscrew the two cover retention bolts
(Fig. A).
2. Swing back the connecting plate 27 which covers the blade slot in the table (Fig. D1).
3. Remove the table insert 4 .
4. Guide the blade through the blade slot in the table. Make sure that the teeth point to the
front of the machine and downwards in the working area (Fig. E2)
5. Carefully insert the blade into the blade guard slot
(Fig. E3 & E4).
6. Position the blade between the guide blocks
7. Move the blade around the band wheels
upper band wheel by turning the blade tension adjuster
8. Mount the table insert 4 (Fig. D5).
9. Swing the connecting plate 27 back into place (Fig. D1).
10. Adjust the blade tension, the guide blocks and the support bearings as described below.

WARNING: Be aware the bandsaw blade shall be replaced in the described way only. Do
never fit other bandsaw blade dimensions as specified under Technical Data.
Adjusting the Blade Tension (Fig. F1)
The correct tension depends on the width of the blade used. Refer to the table on
the machine.
Adjust the blade tension using the blade tension adjuster
tension corresponding to the blade width.
Adjusting the Blade Position (Fig. A, F2, F3)
The blade must be centred on the rim of the band wheels.
1. Open the hinged cover as described above.
2. While rotating the upper band wheel with one hand, slightly rotate the blade centring
adjuster 7 with the other (Fig. A, F3).

WARNING: Do not touch the blade but rotate the upper band wheel with your finger on
one of the spokes.
Adjusting the Blade Guide Blocks and Rear Support Bearings
(Fig. B, G1–G3)
During the sawing operation, the blade is exposed to frontal and lateral forces. The rear
support bearings 18 are positioned 0.5 mm behind the blade to control the blade front-
to-back movement. The 45° and 90° guide blocks are positioned 0.1 mm from the blade to
control the lateral blade position.
1. Remove the table insert and tilt the table to 45°.
2. Slacken the grub screws 19 and position the rear support bearings
blade (Fig. G1).
3. Adjust the knurled knob to position the blade guide blocks just behind the blade teeth

5. Slacken the grub screws 21 and 23 and insert the blade guide blocks
holders (Fig. G1).
6. Set the guide blocks to a distance of approx. 0.1 mm from the blade.
7. Tighten the grub screws 21 and 23 (Fig. G1).
Changing Speed
DW738 (Fig. H1–H3)
Your DW738 bandsaw has two speeds. The low speed is obtained with the drive belt on the
small drive pulley 35 (Fig. H2). The high speed is obtained with the drive belt on the large
drive pulley 36 (Fig. H2). For speed rates, refer to the technical data.
1. Slacken the motor location bolt 13 and move the motor to relax the drive belt (Fig. H1).
2. Ease the drive belt from the wheel pulley and subsequently from the drive pulley
or 36 (Fig. H2, H3).
3. Reinstall the drive belt on the wheel pulley and the required drive pulley
4. Reposition the motor to obtain the correct drive belt tension and secure the motor
location bolt (Fig. H1).
