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.
ADJUSTING/REPLACING THE LOWER WHEEL BRUSH
The lo
wer wheel is equipped with a cleaning brush 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 lower the brush slightly.
Proceed as follows:
1.
Loosen the Phillips head screw
.
2.
Slide the brush slightly down along the mounting hole
, so that a fresh, stiffer part of the hairs touches the
wheel tire.
3.
Tighten the screw to lock the brush in position.
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.
Open the lower wheel cover door.
3.
If needed, loosen the belt, proceeding as per step 3 in section “Changing speed settings”.
4.
Remove the belt from the groove in the pulleys and install a new one.
5.
Having installed a new belt, push down firmly on the motor capacitor cover to tighten the belt, then turn the
ratchet lever clockwise until it is tight and the motor does not move.
6.
Close the lower wheel cover door.
