Lubrication of the Machine
The machine itself does not require lubrication. All ball bearings are maintenance-free.

Maintenance and Lubrication of the APA Saw Blade Guides
The bandsaw blade guides should be lubricated every six months with a few drops of manufacturer's special oil
(see below). Depending on the frequency of use and the stress, a shorter lubrication interval should be selected.
Maintenance / Cleaning:
Clean the saw blade guides regularly (min. 1 x per week) from sawdust,
splinters, resin or other dirt.
Lubrication:
The bright steel parts of the guides are to be kept smooth-running and rust-
free at regular intervals by light oiling.
For lubrication we recommend our special oil 1059 (
Figure 48), which is
available in the
manufacturer’s
(content: 5 bottles, 20 ml each).

Bandsaw Roll Coating
The bandsaw roller contact area is made of a specially vulcanised material that is highly resistant to wear and
tear. Usually, the surface lasts for many years. If the surface should nevertheless become worn, special cork
bandages can be applied, which are available in the
manufacturer’
. If required, you can also contact
our wheel repair service (phone: 0049 7571 / 755 - 0| email:

The running surfaces must always be kept clean and free of incrustations.
•
In addition, it must be ensured that the balling is correct and clean.
