Chapter 5, Operating Instructions: Installing the Blade
E.H. Wachs Company Part No. 06-150-520-MAN, Rev. 0-0607 23
INSTALLING THE BLADE
CAUTION
Use gloves when
handling blades to
prevent cuts.
Installing the blade on the saw is the same for all configura-
tions of the Goliath. There are two different blades avail-
able:
• a coarse blade used for heavy wall or multi-strand pipe
• a fine blade used for thin-wall, single-strand pipe.
Figure 5-7. Goliath Guillotine blade. The mounting
holes at each end are held by the dowel pins in the
clamp blocks.
Mount the saw onto the workpiece before installing the
blade.
There are two blade clamp blocks that hold the blade in
place, one on each end of the saw bow. The block on the
right side (when facing the saddle) has a knob for tensioning
the blade, as shown in Figure 5-8.
