WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN
SWITCH “OFF” AND REMOVE PLUG FROM
POWER OUTLET BEFORE MAINTAINING OR
LUBRICATING YOUR BAND SAW.
TIRES
Pitch and sawdust that accumulate on the tires
should be removed with a stiff brush or scraped
off with a piece of wood. Do not use a sharp
knife or any kind of solvent.
When the tires become worn they should be re­
placed. When replacing the tires, put a thin layer
of rubber cement on the outside of the wheels
and inside of the tires. Allow to dry, then slide
tires onto wheels aligning tires inside wheel
edges.
GENERAL
Keep your Band Saw clean.
Remove sawdust from the inside frequently.
Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the table,
blade insert, blade guides, or thrust bearings.
Clean them with Craftsman Gum and Pitch
Remover.
Apply a thin coat of automobile-type wax to the
table so the wood slides easily while cutting.
Also apply wax to the inside surfaces of the
trunnion.
MOTOR/ELECTRICAL
Frequently vacuum or blow out any sawdust from
the motor.
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any
way, have it replaced immediately.
LUBRICATION
All of the BALL BEARINGS are permanently
lubricated. They require no further lubrication.
