Maintaining Your Band Saw

Maintenance

!WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, turn power switch “OFF” and remove

plug from the power source outlet before maintaining or lubricating your band saw.

GENERAL

Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside of the housing and motor.

Clean off pitch which accumulates on the table, blade guides, and bearings.

Remove pitch and dust from the upper and lower wheels using a stiff brush. Do not use solvents.

An occasional coat of paste wax on the work table will allow the wood being cut to glide smoothly across the work surface.

!CAUTION Certain cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic parts.

Including: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia. Avoiding use of these and other types of cleaning agents minimizes the probability of damage.

To avoid shock or fire hazard, if the power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.

All repairs, electrical or mechanical, ! WARNING should be attempted only by trained

repairmen. Contact the nearest Skil Factory Service Center, Authorized Skil Service Station or other com- petent repair service. Use only Skil replacement parts; any other may create a hazard.

Drive belt replacement (Figs. 25 and 26)

1.Move the blade tension adjustment quick release handle (1) clockwise to lower the upper wheel and reduce tension on the blade.

2.Pull on both the upper and lower door latches to open the wheel cover door.

3.Remove the blade from the lower blade wheel.

4.Remove the snap ring (3) from the lower wheel shaft.

5.Pull the lower blade wheel (2) from the band saw.

6.Remove the drive belt (4).

7.Position a new drive belt on the lower blade wheel pulley and put the wheel back into the band saw. Loop the drive belt over the motor pulley (5).

8.Secure the lower blade wheel in position with the snap ring (3).

9.Place the blade over the lower blade wheel (2). Move the quick release handle (1) counterclockwise to raise the upper wheel and increase the tension on the blade.

10.Adjust the blade tension, tracking, and upper and lower blade guides. See pages 11 - 13.

11.Check the deflection of the drive belt in the center between the two pulleys on the opposite side from the belt tension wheel. The belt should deflect 1/2" (12 mm) deflection when pressing on the drive belt in the center between the two pulleys. To adjust the belt tension, see page 11.

Use only recommended accessories. Follow instructions that accompany accessories. Use of improper accessories may cause hazards.
