What to do if the Husqvarna K 970 Ring Cutter blade slips?

Ronnie YoungJul 29, 2025
If the blade slips, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure the guide rollers move freely, as a seized roller won't press the blade hard enough against the drive wheel. Second, a worn drive wheel can cause slippage, especially with abrasive material and insufficient water during cutting, so replace it if necessary. Third, if more than half of the guide roller flange width is worn, replace the worn guide roller flange. Finally, if the blade’s groove and inner edge are worn, replace the blade and ensure proper flushing to address issues caused by inferior flushing of abrasive material or a worn drive wheel.

The blade might not rotate due to several reasons. Check if the roller knobs are fully tightened and tighten them if they are not. Ensure the blade is correctly fitted on the guide rollers. Also, the rollers might be tensioned too much, in this case, reduce the tension on the rollers.

The blade may rotate too slowly for several reasons. Make sure the roller knobs are fully tightened. If not, tighten them. Other potential causes include a worn drive wheel (replace it), a worn V-shaped inner diameter of the blade (replace the blade), weakened springs on the guide rollers (replace the weakened springs), or defective roller bearings (replace the defective roller bearings).

John BrownAug 11, 2025
If the blade jumps out of position, it could be due to a loose roller setting. Try tightening the roller setting. Also, worn guide rollers, an incorrectly fitted blade, or a damaged blade can cause this issue. Replace worn guide rollers or a damaged blade, and ensure the blade is correctly fitted on the guide rollers.

Julie RiveraAug 15, 2025
The blade warps because the rollers are tensioned too much, so you should reduce the tension on the rollers. Another reason could be that the blade is overheating, so allow the blade to cool down.
