MAINTENANCE
Keeping metal chips away from bandsaw mechanisms is
important to ensure that your bandsaw lasts a long time.
Use a shop vacuum or brush-off metal chips frequently.
Cleaning
Regular periodic maintenance on your machine will
ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of
inspecting your machine each time you use it.
Check for the following conditions and repair or
replace when necessary:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Missing or leaking rubber toggle switch boots.
• Worn or damaged cords, switches, or plugs.
• Damaged V-belt.
• Any other condition that could hamper the safe
operation of this machine.
General
MAKE SURE that your machine is
unplugged during all maintenance pro-
cedures! If this warning is ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
The gearbox and all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated and no scheduled lubrication is needed.
However, you must periodically lubricate adjustment
locations and bare metal surfaces. Refer to Figures
29—30 for lubrication points.
Lubricate the following areas listed below:
A. Blade Tension Mechanism: Open the main blade
guard, and drop a few drops of oil on the tension
knob lead screw.
B. Blade and Guides: Drop a few drops of light machine
oil on the blade and the blade guides daily.
C. Gear Box: Is packed with grease and should only be
changed if you suspect contamination.
D. Table and Machined Surfaces: Keep bare metal
surfaces rust-free with regular applications of
products like SLIPIT ® . For long term storage you may
want to consider products like Boeshield T-9™.
E. Vise Lead Screw: Drop a few drops of light machine
oil on the vise lead screw weekly.
