MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
For other items on this machine, such as the
guide column, an occasional application of light
machine oil is all that is necessary. Before
applying lubricant, clean off sawdust.
Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication.
Too much lubrication will attract dirt and saw-
dust. Various parts of your machine could lose
their freedom of movement as a result.
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model
W1672 Bandsaw will ensure its optimum perfor-
mance. Make a habit of inspecting your bandsaw
each time you use it.
Check for the following conditions and repair
or replace when necessary:
1. Loose mounting bolts.
2. Worn switch.
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4. Damaged V-belt.
5. Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
General
Table And Base
Tables can be kept rust-free with regular appli-
cations of products like Boeshield
®
T-9. For long
term storage you may want to consider products
like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any maintenance or
repairs. Failure to do this
may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
