D. Adjusting Arm Weight
It is most important that the Arm be correctly balanced to ensure proper and
efficient performance from your bandsaw. Incorrect balance can result in crooked
cuts, tooth stripping, blade ‘popping’ etc. The hydraulic feed rate will NOT
necessarily compensate for improper arm weight.
E. Lubrication
To ensure proper running of your machine,
the following Lubrication Schedule should be
followed, using SAE30 oil.
1.
Weekly,
6-8 drops on the Driven
Pulley Bearing (Lower Pulley). The
Pulley Cover must be removed to
accomplish this task.
2.
As required
- Vice Screw ....ensure it is
clean and free from foreign material.
The arm is correctly balanced at the factory, and
should not normally need adjustment. However,
should any of the conditions specified above
occur, arm weight should be checked as follows:
1. Secure the arm, using the Ram in the
horizontal position.
2. Attach a tension gauge or fish type scale to the
handle adjacent to the blade adjuster and lift
the arm with the gauge or scale. The gauge or
scale should register no more than 5-6kg ONLY.
If necessary, adjust the tension on the balance
spring, using the adjuster arrowed in Fig.21 until
this value is attained. Ensure the locknut on the
adjuster is tightened when completed.

E. Cleaning
It is recommended that the Bandsaw is kept clean and free of filings, swarf etc.,
by cleaning with a brush , paying particular attention to the Blade Guides. Keeping
the vice free from residue will ensure that the work sits square to the blade, giving
a more accurate cut.
Always clean and dry the machine at the end of a days work, particularly when
coolant has been used.

3.
Annually
-
The oil requires changing in the Gearbox Annually, or more often if
the oil becomes contaminated, or an oil leak occurs. To change the oil, remove
the drain plug, shown at ‘A’ Fig,22 and allow the oil to drain into a container.
Replace the drain plug then remove the breather/filler plug, shown at ‘B’. Fill
to the bottom of the oil filler hole with gear oil, then replace breather plug.
