Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Never perform and setup, maintenance or adjustment procedures with the machine connected
to the power source!
If you have any doubt about the described procedure, seek professional assistance. Do not
attempt any procedure that you feel is unsafe, or that you do not have the physical capability of achieving.
When removing banding, extreme caution must be used as the banding will spring when cut.
The machine is heavy. Ensure that you have enough people to do the job safely.
There may be sawdust in or around your new machine as a result of thorough testing.
General
Keep your machine clean. At the end of each day, clean the machine. Wood contains moisture, and if
sawdust or wood chips are not removed, they will cause rust. In general, we recommend that you only use a
Teflon-based lubricant on the saw. Regular oil attracts dust and dirt. Teflon lubricant tends to dry and has
less of a tendency to accumulate dirt and saw dust. Periodically check that all nuts and bolts are tight.
Drive belt
The drive belt should last for many years (depending on the usage) but needs to be inspected regularly for
cracks, cuts and general wear. If damage is found, replace the belt.
Bearings
All bearings are sealed for life and do not require any maintenance. If a bearing becomes faulty, replace it.
Rust
The saw is made from steel and cast iron. All non-painted surfaces will rust if not protected. It is
recommended that they be protected by applying wax or a Teflon- based lubricant to them.
