!
Cleaning & Protecting
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to
any specific instructions given in this section.
To minimize your risk of injury and maintain
proper machine operation, shut down the
machine immediately if you ever observe any
of the items below, and fix the problem before
continuing operations:
Ongoing
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn or damaged saw blade.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Check/clean wheel brushes.
• Clean/protect table surface.
• Check lubrication points.
• Any other unsafe condition.
Monthly Check
• V-belt tension, damage, or wear.
• Clean/vacuum dust build-up from inside
cabinet and off motor.
Wheel Brushes
The bandsaw is equipped with lower wheel
brushes to keep saw dust from building up on the
tire. The brushes should be checked daily and
cleaned when they become dirty.
There are adjustment brackets that allow the
brushes to be adjusted for bristle wear (refer
to Adjusting Wheel Brushes on Page 59 for
detailed instructions).
Cleaning the bandsaw is relatively easy. Vacuum
excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the
remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin
has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to
remove it.
Protect the unpainted cast-iron surfaces on
the table by wiping it clean after every use—
this ensures moisture from wood dust does
not remain on bare metal surfaces. Keep the
table rust-free with regular applications of
products like G96
®
Gun Treatment, SLIPIT
®
, or
Boeshield
®
T-9 (see Accessories
section
for more
details).
Lubrication
An essential part of lubrication is cleaning the
components before lubricating them. This step
is critical because dust and chips build up on
lubricated components, which makes them hard
to move. Simply adding more grease to built-up
grime will not result in smooth moving parts.
Clean the components in this section with an oil/
grease solvent cleaner or mineral spirits before
applying lubrication.
All bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated. Leave them alone until they need to
be replaced.
