INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE,

AND CLEANING

1.WARNING! Make sure the Power Switch (164) is in its “OFF” position and the tool is unplugged from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

2.Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Bandsaw. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged electrical wir- ing, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.

Do not use damaged equipment.

3.Before each use, inspect the Saw Blade (82). Using a dull Saw Blade will cause excessive wear on the Mo-

tor of the Bandsaw and will not pro- duce a satisfactory cut. Replace with a new Saw Blade when needed. To replace a Saw Blade:

a. NOTE: Wear heavy-duty work gloves to avoid accidental cuts from the Saw Blade (82) when performing this procedure.

b. Raise the body Frame (60) to its full vertical position, making sure it locks in place by turning the Support Plate

(150) to the right until it firmly locks into the Body Frame, and insert the Locking Pin (153). (See Figure S.)

c.Release Saw Blade (82) tension by turning the Blade Tension Knob (34).

(See Figure U.)

d.Slip the old Saw Blade (82) off the Upper Blade Wheel (37), Lower Blade Wheel (54), and Guide as- semblies. (See Figure U.)
