A bandsaw (1), in particular a butcher bandsaw, is proposed. The bandsaw (1) has an underframe (2) with saw table (3), a drive motor (5) with bottom drive wheel (4), dirt wipers (25, 26) for the revolving, band-shaped saw blade (10) and the drive wheel, and a tensioning and slackening device (SSV) for the saw blade, with which the drive motor together with drive wheel and motor bearing plate can be moved in the vertical direction, and also a column and a saw head which adjoins the column at the top and on which the top deflecting wheel for the saw blade is mounted. In order to permit easy and quick dismantling and fitting of saw blade and wipers, provision is made for the wiper (25a, 25b) allocated to the saw blade and the wheel wiper (26) to be operable by driver elements (27), allocated to these wipers, of a lifting and setting device (SAV), and for the lifting and setting device and the tensioning and slackening device for the saw blade to be coupled to one another in such a way that they can be operated together with a single actuating lever (6) of the tensioning and slackening device for the saw blade.
