press the blade hard enough against the drive wheel.
Worn drive wheel. Abrasive material and too little water when cutting
increases the wear on the wheel.
Worn guide roller flange. When more than half of the width of the flange
is worn the blade slips.
The blade's groove and inner edge are worn. Caused by inferior flushing
of abrasive material and/or a worn drive wheel causing the blade to slip.
