Adjusting Wheel
Brushes
The lower wheel has brushes (see
Figure 97) that
are designed to sweep sawdust off the tire and
blade during operation. In order to work properly,
the brushes must make firm contact with the tire.
Adjusting Quick-
Release Lever
The blade tension quick-release lever was adjust-
ed at the factory for use with the pre-installed
blade. However, because actual blade lengths
may vary slightly by manufacturer, whenever you
install a new blade, you may need to adjust the
quick-release adjustment screw so that the blade
tension quick-release lever works correctly.
