Blade Scraper &

Wheel Brush

The lower wheel compartment contains the blade scraper and wheel brush. These are designed to clean chips off the blade and wheel tire as the bandsaw is operating. Always adjust the blade scraper and wheel brush at the same time.

To adjust the blade scraper and brush:

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Lock the saw frame in the rearmost position, then remove the right side cover.

3.Loosen the screws that hold the blade scrap- er in place (Figure 59).

4.Reposition the blade scraper as close as possible to the blade without touching it, then re-tighten the screws.

5.Loosen the screws that hold the wheel brush in place (Figure 60).
