Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, loosen the tensioning lever on your bow saw frame and slide the old blade off the mounting pins. Align the holes of the new Dapetz blade with the pins, ensuring the teeth are pointed in the correct direction for your cutting stroke. Re-apply tension until the blade is rigid and does not wobble. For maintenance, keep the blade dry after use to prevent rust, and wipe with a light coat of machine oil if stored in a humid environment. Replace the blade once the tooth points become dull, as worn teeth will cause the saw to drift and increase physical fatigue.
