The lower wheel compartment contains the wheel
brush shown in Figure 44. This brush is designed
to sweep chips off the wheel tire as the bandsaw
is operating. In order to work properly, the brush
must make firm contact with the wheel.
To adjust the wheel brush:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Open the lower wheel cover.
3. Loosen the hex bolt that secures the wheel
brush.
4. Adjust the wheel brush so that it makes firm
contact with the wheel but the bristles are not
overly bent.
5. Re-tighten the hex bolt to secure the wheel
brush in place, and close the lower wheel
door.
