What would cause my saw to throw the upper wheel rubber using a 1/8 in. blade. It never did this before using the same blade. Thanks Stan

Is it an unglued black rubber tire? If so, they lose elasticity over time and squirm/come off, especially if you leave the blade tensioned all the time. If so, glue it on or replace it. I replaced mine.

I haven't used it a lot, but they seem fine. Not glued, throw in hot water before applying. Old ones were rubber not glued and had to have been at least 30 years old. They started coming off so no other choice.
