MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
Remove all accumulated swarf from inside the bandsaw frequently using a
soft brush and/or vacuum cleaner. Alternatively, if compressed air is used,
ensure it is set to no more than 10 psi and wear protective safety glasses.
Maintain a thin film of oil on all unpainted surfaces including all screw threads
to protect your saw from corrosion.
•
All bearings are lubricated for life and require no mainenance.
GEARBOX
The drive gears run in an oil bath and will not require a lubricant change more
often than once a year if in daily use.
To change the oil proceed as follows:
1. Lower the saw to a horizontal
position and remove the four bolts
securing the gearbox cover.
2. Remove the gearbox cover.
3. Place a container under the right
lower corner of the gear box and
slowly raise the bandsaw until the
oil drains into the container.
4. Lower the saw and wipe up any
excess oil and foreign matter with
a soft rag.
5. Replace the oil with a similar quantity until the drive gears are covered.
6. Replace the cover and gasket and tighten the four bolts.
STORAGE
When storing the bandsaw, disconnect the power cable, cover the machine
with a plastic sheet and store it in a dry location.
WARNING: ALWAYS SWITCH OFF AND DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER
SUPPLY BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE
TASKS.
