MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Accumulated dust and chips should be removed from inside the bandsaw
frequently as well as emptying the dust drawer. Open the upper and lower
covers, use a soft brush and/or vacuum cleaner to remove sawdust. If
compressed air is used, ensure it is set to no more than 10 psi.
At the end of every work session, clean sawdust away from the motor vents.
CHANGING THE WHEEL PULLEY TYRES
Eventually the rubber tyres on the bandsaw pulley wheels will wear due to the
constant contact with the blade. Remove the saw blade as described on
page 17, then lift the edge of the tyre with a small screwdriver and carefully
work off the wheel. Ease on the new tyre, ensuring it sits evenly around the
wheel.
We recommend that both tyres (item 35, page 27) are changed at the same
time.
BLADE GUIDES
Blade guides should be inspected regularly for wear or chipping, and
replaced if necessary. See pages 14-16 for blade guide adjustments.
BEARINGS
All bearings used in the construction of your bandsaw and its motor are sealed
and lubricated for life.
STORAGE
Switch off the bandsaw and disconnect the power cable.
Cover the machine with a plastic bag and store it in a dry location.
WARNING: ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE AND DISCONNECT FROM
THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY CLEANING OF
MAINTENANCE TASKS.
