13.0 MAINTENANCE
Keep the band saw and the motor clean.
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately.
14.0 LUBRICATION
All ball bearings are permanently lubricated and sealed.
They require no further attention.
The gear box lubricant should be changed after the fi rst 50
hours of operation. Change lubricant from then on every
250 hours of operation.
To check level of gear box lubricant, place saw arm in
down position and allow a few minutes to pass so that oil
drains down. Check level in sight glass on side of gear
casing. Correct level is the dot in the middle of sight glass.
To change gear box lubricant:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Open drain plug and allow lubricant to drain
completely. Drain plug may be found on lower front of
gear case under right wheel cover. Remove drain plug
with a hex wrench.
3. Replace drain plug.
4. Remove fi ller cap (A, Figure 12) and fi ll gear box with
Mobil DTE® Oil Heavy Medium until level reaches dot
in middle of sight glass.
5. Replace fi ller cap.

Use a light machine oil to lubricate all other moving parts
as needed.
