housing. 

See Figure 24.

  Pull the lower wheel away from the saw housing. 

  Remove the worn drive belt.

  Place new drive belt on the pulley. As you slide the pul-

ley shaft back into the hole in the saw housing, place the 
drive belt over the motor pulley.

  Replace the nut and washer on the pulley shaft and re-

  Replace saw blade. 

  Check thrust bearings and blade guides.

NUT 

AND  

WASHER

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.
