Lubrication
The bandsaw bearings are factory lubricated and
sealed. Leave them alone unless they need to be
replaced.
2. Use a stiff clean brush and mineral spirits
to clean away any grease or grime from the
guide post rack.
3. When dry, use another clean brush to apply
a light coat of NLGI#2 grease or equivalent.
4. Move the guide post up and down through its
full path of travel to distribute the grease.
Tension Leadscrew
1. Remove the blade.
2. Rotate the blade tension handwheel clock-
wise to fully expose the tension leadscrew
(see
Figure 56).
2. Use shop rags and mineral spirits to clean
away any grease or grime from the leadscrew
threads and the surrounding area.
3. Use a clean shop rag to apply a thin coat of
NLGI#2 grease or equivalent. Make sure to
rub the grease into the threads.
4. Re-tension the blade and check/adjust the
blade tracking (refer to
Page 19 for detailed
instructions).
Do not get any grease on the tension sliding
ways (see Figure 56). These cast iron ways
create their own dry lubricant with use.
Applying grease will create a mixture that
will interfere with the smooth movement of
the ways.
