Milwaukee 6230 bandsaw

I have this portable band saw, and the blade keeps slowly pushing itself off the rollers when I power the saw up. I see no adjustment for the pitch/angle of the wheels. Am I missing something here? Help.

Re: Milwaukee 6230 bandsaw

go all around the saw and make sure every screw/bolt is tight especially the blade guide to the rear.
also make sure the tires on the saw are pushed all the way down and are not worn.
these are the adjustments i have had to make to all of mine to keep the blades from walking.

Re: Milwaukee 6230 bandsaw

Thank you. I will try that tonight. The tires are definitely in place. Do the roller guides play any roll in keeping the belt on?
