SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power to the machine when making adjust- ments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

V-Belts

To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blade, the V-belt must be in good condition and operate under proper tension. The belts should be checked for cracks, fraying and wear. Belt tension should be checked at least every 3 months; more often if the bandsaw is used daily.

The V-belt is accessed via the bottom cover:

1.Squeeze the center of the V-belt.

2.Note the amount of deflection. Deflection should be approximately 3Ú4". See ÒV-Belt AdjustmentÓ instructions.

Miscellaneous

Always be aware of the condition of your band- saw. Routinely check the condition of the follow- ing items and repair or replace as necessary:

•Loose mounting bolts

•Worn switch

•Worn or damaged blade

•Worn or damaged support bearings or guide bearings

Table

The table and other non-painted surfaces on the Model G1073/G1073Z should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the saw clean after every use ensures that wood dust is not allowed to trap moisture against bare metal sur- faces.

The table can be kept rust-free with regular appli- cations of products like SLIPIT¨ or Boeshield¨ T-

9.For long term storage you may want to consid- er products like Kleen Bore's Rust Guarditª. See the current Grizzly catalog for more on these products.

Lubrication

Shielded and pre-lubricated ball bearings require no lubrication for the life of the bearings. All bear- ings are standard sizes, and replacements can be purchased from our parts department or bear- ing supply store.

As for other items on this machine, such as adjustment controls, an occasional ÒshotÓ of light oil is just about all that is necessary. Before applying, however, wipe off any sawdust with a clean cloth, towel or dry paint brush, and spray on the lubricant. Ensure that oil does not get on the pulleys or V-belt because it could cause belt dete- rioration and slipping.
