(N). The rubber tires should be inspected for
looseness or damage when changing the
blade. Wipe any chips from the rubber tires on
the pulleys. This will extend tire life and keep
the blade from slipping. If any looseness or
damage occurs, the tool should be brought to an
authorized D WALT service center for repair or

replacement as soon as possible. Continued use
of the tool with loose or damaged rubber tires will
cause unstable travel of the band saw blade.
