SERVICE
Replacing Brake Shoe
The brake shoe will need to be replaced when the pad
wears out, which depends upon how frequently the foot
brake is used. The following are indications that the brake
pad needs to be replaced: The bandsaw takes noticeably
longer to stop when the foot brake is pushed or the foot
brake makes metal-to-metal grinding sounds.
