REPLACING THE WHEEL TIRE
Wheel tires must be replaced if they get worn out or dam-
aged. (If it is worn out, the blade will not track straight on
the wheels.)
Use a flat screwdriver to remove the tire from the groove
on the wheel, then install a new tire.
Note: When replacing the tires, stretch them around the
wheels but do not glue them on.
REPLACING THE LOWER WHEEL BRUSH
The lo
wer wheel cover door is equipped with a cleaning
brush
A
that prevents pitch and sawdust build up on the
lower tire. Any pitch and sawdust that builds up on the
upper wheel tire should be removed with a stiff brush or
scraped off with a piece of wood.
Note: To avoid damaging the tire do not use a sharp knife or
any kind of solvent to remove pitch build up.
Verify that the brush keeps the lower wheel surface clean
at all times. With use and normal wear over time, the brush
hairs will soften and will not clean the surface of the wheel
as well. You then must replace the brush.
REPLACING LOWER WHEEL MOTOR BELT
The lower wheel is driven by one belt mounted on either of the two pulleys powered by the motor. The belt’s tension
should be verified upon reception of the machine, then every 6 months. Slightly push on the belt with your finger.
The belt must not move more than 1/8". If the belt becomes too loose due to wear or if a breakage occurs, you
must replace it.
1.
Turn off power and disconnect the bandsaw from the power source to avoid unintentional start-up.
2.
If needed, loosen the belt (if needed, refer back to section “Changing speed settings”, on page 19).
3.
Remove the belt from the groove in the pulleys and install a new one.
4.
Having installed a new belt, set the motor back to it’s initial position to tighten the belt around the pulleys, then
turn the ratchet lever clockwise until it is tight and the motor does not move.
