BEFORE MAINTAINING OR LUBRICATING
YOUR BAND SAW.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
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 replaced. When
replacing the tires, stretch them around the wheels but do not
glue them onto the wheels.
Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the table, the insert, the
guides or the thrust bearings. Clean them with Craftsman
Gum and Pitch Remover. CAUTION: Do not immerse the
thrust bearings.
Apply a thin coat of automobile-type wax on the table so that
the wood slides easily while cutting.

MOTOR MAiNTENANCE AND
LUBRICATION
1. The bearings, in both end shields of the motor, have been
lubricated at the factory with correct lubricant. No other
part of the motor requires lubrication.
2. Re-iubricate motor bearings in accordance with the
instructions on the nameplate. Be sure to wipe off dirt or
grit if present around oil hole caps to prevent a ny possibility
of foreign material contaminating the oil wicks that supply
the bearings with oil. Use a good grade of medium weight
mineral oil, such as automobile engine oil, SAE 20.
3. If disassembly of the motor is necessary, it should be
returned to your nearest Sears retail or mail-order store in
order to prevent voiding the guarantee.

changed.
Every effort should be made to prevent foreign materia
from entering the motor. When operated under condition
likely to permit accumulations of dust, dirt, or waste wit hi i
the motor, a visual inspection should be made at frequen
intervals. Accumulations of dry dust can usually be blowi
out successfully.

susceptible to theaccumuiation of sawdust and wood chip
and should be blown out or 'Vacuumed'’ frequently t
