My lower tire keeps coming off. Doesn't matter if the blade is on it or not. This saw has only been used three times. Is the tire no good?, how can i avoid this from happening again? and is it common for a new saw to do this?
Help would greatly be appreciated.

The tire comes off even without a blade on it? Today is the 8th of April, not the 1st. Nice try though. Is this yldouright
in disquise?

Yes papaden it is the 8th of april and yes it did keep coming off!! I found the problem myself and fixed it.

Problem: the upper frame is held on with one bolt and two dowels for alignment. I took the bolt off, repositioned the upper frame, making sure that it was aligned with the lower wheel and tightened te bolt.

I then removed the tire from the lower wheel and turned it around. Put the same blade back on and the saw ran great.

Oh buy the way, when I ran the saw with the blade off, the tire was acually piling up at the brush. One wouldn't think that the little brush would cause enough drag on the tire to cause it to but it did. As with the above I also left the brush off of the tire.

Next time I will take a picture for the non beleavers!!!!

GC4061, I appologize for my comments. Next time try to mention little things like the brush rubbing and pushing the tire off. LOL
