MAINTENANCE

TIRES

Cleaning tires:

Pitch and sawdust accumulates on tires and needs to be removed with a fine wire brush or a piece of wood. Do not use a sharp knife or any kind of solvent.

Replacing tires:

Open front cover and remove saw blade. See section on Installing and Adjusting the Blade, page 17.

Pry the worn tire away from the wheel carefully.

Stretch the new tire around the wheel.

Replace the saw blade and close the front cover.

BRUSHES

See Figure 23.

There is a brush located inside the saw housing, next to the lower wheel. It helps protect the tire and wheel by brushing off saw dust. As the brush becomes worn, it will need to be adjusted or replaced.

Remove the screw then pull the brush off.

Place the new brush in the groove.

Retighten using the screw.

DRIVE BELT

See Figures 24 and 25.

Due to wear or breakage, the drive belt may need to be replaced. The drive belt is located behind the lower wheel of the band saw.

Remove the saw blade and set it aside. See section on Installing and Adjusting the Blade, page 17.
