Brushes
The AS175 is fitted with Auto-cut off brushes. When the
brushes are worn below minimum length they stop tool
operation reducing internal motor damage. Contact
your local dealer or authorised service center for brush
replacement.
2) Belt and Pulleys
CAUTION: The belt tension should be checked if
belt slip occurs during use. Continuing to operate the
tool with a loose belt may result in poor functionality or
damage to the pulleys. Replacement is required if the
belt cannot be sufficiently tensioned to prevent slipping.
To access these items, remove the 4 screws holding
the plastic cover on the right side of the tool (see
Fig.14). Inspect the belt for correct tension and signs
of damage. If tensioning is required, loosen the
tension idler nut (one turn only). Slide the tension idler
outward to increase the tension to the value noted in
the Specifications in Section 9. and re-tighten. If belt
replacement is required, loosen the tensioner idler,

replace the belt and re-tension the idler as specified.

Cover
During belt tensioning or replacement a visual
inspection of the pulleys should be completed, as
they will wear due to excessive belt slip. Replacement
may be required if the V profile grooves on the pulleys
appear worn or damaged. To replace either pulley
contact your ARBORTECH authorised service centre.
3) Blade Mount Bolts and Threads
The blade mount bolts should be regularly checked for
correct torque (18Nm.)(13.2 ft lb). Whenever blades
are changed, the bolt and conrod threads should

CAUTION: DO NOT operate the tool with loose
blades. If blades should come loose while operating,
the blade mounts and threads can become damaged,
requiring significant repairs to the tool.
4) Blades and Teeth
With use, the blades will become dull and the cutting
performance will decrease. Occasionally, if very hard
materials are cut, or the teeth impact a hard surface at
an odd angle, teeth may become chipped or broken.
The blades can still be used, but cutting performance
8

10
will be reduced.
If "blueing" of the blade periphery occurs, the blades
are running too hot. This occurs when the blades
become worn, too much force is applied, the operator
does not use sufficient sweeping motion or the material
is too hard.
NOTE: Using sharp blades will improve the
performance and longevity of the tool.
If the supply cord of this power is necessary, this has
to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order to
avoid a safety hazard.
