BEFORE CLEANING OR CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE WORK, DISCONNECT THE
MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE (WALL SOCKET). NEVER USE WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS
TO CLEAN THE MACHINE. USE A BENCH BRUSH. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR NEAR BEARINGS.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF THE MACHINE WILL PREVENT UNNECESSARY PROBLEMS.
1. Keep the table clean to ensure accurate cutting.
2. Keep the outside of the machine clean to ensure accurate operation of all moving parts and prevent
excessive wear.
3. Keep the ventilation slots of the motor clean to prevent it from overheating.
4. Keep the inside of the machine (near the saw blade, etc.) clean to prevent accumulation of dust.
Use dust collection, if possible.
5. To prolong the life of the blade, when the bandsaw is not in use for extended periods, release the blade
tension. Before reusing the bandsaw, ensure that the blade is re-tensioned and tracking is checked.
6. Keep the guide bearings free of dust, and clean the guide bearing assemblies frequently.
FIGURE 44
ELECTRICAL OUTLET
On the rear of the bandsaw column below the tool
holder, a 110V electrical outlet has been added to the
machine for your working convenience. This outlet
can be used with work lights (with magnetic bases
or clips) to illuminate the work table and blade, for
radios, charging phones or tablets, etc. FIG. 44.
CAUTION: Make sure that the cords of these devises
do not interfere with any parts of the bandsaw.
