Lubrication
The table can be kept rust-free with regular applications
of products like SLIPIT
®
. For long term storage you may
want to consider products like Boeshield T-9™.
Protecting Table
Frequently blow-off sawdust with compressed air. This is
especially important for the internal working parts and
motor. Dust build-up around the motor is a sure way to
decrease its life span. Additionally, open the wheel covers
and clean away any sawdust and built-up grime.
Cleaning
Regular periodic maintenance on your machine will
ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of
inspecting your machine each time you use it.
On a daily basis, check for the following conditions
and repair or replace when necessary:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn switch.
• Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
• Damaged or worn V-belt.
• Damagedorwornbladesupportandguidebearings.
• Damagedorglazedwheelrubbertires.
• 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 sealed and pre-lubricated ball bearings
on this bandsaw require no lubrication for
the life of the bearings. All bearings are
standard sizes, and replacements can be
purchased from our parts department or a
bearing supply store.
As for other items on this machine, such as
adjustment controls, wipe off any sawdust
with a clean cloth, towel or dry paint
brush, then apply a small amount of light
machine oil.
Take care oil does not get on the pulleys
or belt that would cause belt deterioration
and slippage and a reduction in power
efficiency.
