INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
WARNING! Make sure the Power Switch of the Band Saw is in its “OFF” position and
that the tool is unplugged from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection,
maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
1.
Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Band Saw. Check for loose
screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged
electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal
noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
Caution: Do not use damaged equipment.
2.
Check that the Saw Blade does not contact the Base (1) when brought down. Adjust
the Depth Adjustment Bolt (93) if necessary.
3.
Periodically recheck all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness.
4.
Cover and store in a clean and dry location.
5.
If the Band Saw will not be used over long periods of time, release the tension on the
Saw Blade (49).
6.
Clean the Band Saw after each use. Sweep clean of all cutting debris.
7.
Some repair and maintenance procedures, not described in this manual, may require
the use of a qualified service technician.

the direction of the teeth are correct as noted on the Band Saw indicator arrow.
