MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

WARNING

⬤For your own safety, turn switch OFF and remove the plug from power source receptacle before maintaining, cleaning, adjusting, or lubricating your band saw.

⬤To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use gasoline, naphtha, acetone, lacquer thinner or similar highly volatile solvents to clean the band saw.

⬤To avoid eye injury from blowing debris, wear safety goggles when blowing out sawdust.

BAND SAW

Sawdust will accumulate under the table and base. This could cause difficulty in the movement of the table when setting up a band saw cut, and also cause a fire hazard. Frequently blow out or vacuum up the sawdust.

Keep your band saw clean. Remove the sawdust from the inside. Vacuum or blow out frequently.

Do not allow filth to build up on the table, the guides, or the support bearings. Clean them with gum and pitch remover.

NOTE: Do not immerse the support bearing in the gum and pitch remover.

Put a thin coat of paste wax on the table so that the wood slides easily while cutting.

BLADE WHEEL TIRES

Pitch and sawdust that build up on the tires should be removed with a stiff brush or scrape off with a piece of Wood.
