Maintenance
Before doing maintenance
on the machine, disconnect it from the
electrical supply by pulling out the plug or
switching off the main switch! Failure to
comply may cause serious injury.
Keep the band saw and the motor clean.
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in
any way, have it replaced immediately.
Lubrication
All ball bearings are permanently lubricated and
sealed. They require no further attention.
The gear box lubricant should be changed after
the first 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 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 filler cap (A, Figure 12) and fill gear
box with Mobil DTE® Oil Heavy Medium
until level reaches dot in middle of sight
glass.
5. Replace filler cap.
6. Connect machine to the power source.
Use a light machine oil to lubricate all other
moving parts as needed.
A detailed explanation on blade selection and
blade problems and their solutions can be found
