Cause: Segments are worn on one side, reducing side clearance. It's usually caused by misalignment of the saw or a lack of sufficient water on both sides of the blade.
Remedy: Check saw alignment. Clean water system, making certain that water is properly applied to the leading edge of the blade flanges. Check to see if pump is supplying sufficient water.
Cause: Blade is worn outofround due to bad bearings, worn arbor or excessive dulling conditions. (See section on EXCESSIVE WEAR)
Remedy: Replace bearings or worn arbor as required.
