bandaideman Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I have noticed that my blades shrink as I saw. It was driving me crazy until I saw the gremlin moving my tension nob in the rear and so when I would move to the next hole the blade would not reach to the holder and I could not tighten it down. Then I noted the white line on the tension nob would start in one place and after a time of cutting would not longer be visiable becaus it has moved on around. No I keep track of the gremlin and feed him peanut butter with the sawdust but I still have to move it back myself. Anyone else have this happening to their saw or am I the only one with a gremlin.

Multifasited Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Operator awareness is key ! Like the RXR warning STOP LOOK AND LISTEN ! Man made them and operate them as long as thats the case the RXR warning must be used ! Machines don't forget anything People DO !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multifasited Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 HUH Means when you detect and issue ,stop ,pushing or pulling ,listen for sound changes look for the cause ,loose tension ,jammed saw dust ,dull blade ETC! something is a miss .or keep on and wish you had not ! It's up to you ,I have tried both ways the second one SUCKS. That's my opinion and it's worth twice what you paid for it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
