Figure-31 Bolts to tilt the table backward
TABLE & BASE
The moisture from the wood dust remains
on the table surface and can cause rust.
Protect the un-painted cast iron surfaces of
the table by cleaning the table after every
use or apply a protective coating.
If the table becomes harder to tilt, remove
the table and apply a few drops of oil on the
trunnions.
BLADE & TABLE
ALIGNMENTS
The blade and table alignments should
often be checked, and make sure the blade
is at a 90° with the table.
V-BELT
The V-belts stretch with use, and should be
re-tensioned periodically. To ensure
optimum power transfer from the motor to
the blade, the belt must be in good
condition and under proper tension.
Check the V-belt at least after every 3
months and more often if the band saw is
used daily.
TO INSPECT THE V-BELTS
1.
Turn the power switch off and
disconnect the cord from the power
source.
2. Open the bottom cabinet.
3. Turn the wheel slowly with your hand
and inspect if the V-belts are in good
condition and properly tensioned.
WARNING!
When removing or installing, servicing or
adjusting any part of the machine, make
sure that the switch is in the off position
and the power cord is disconnected from
the power source.
