What should I do if the blade keeps slipping off the wheels?

If the blade is slipping, check the tension and adjust it if necessary. Inspect the wheels for debris or damage and clean them. Ensure that the blade is correctly seated on the wheels and that the tracking is properly set.

How often should I replace the blade on my Scheppach HBS20?
