SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

GeneralBearings

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model G1019Z Bandsaw will ensure its optimum perfor- mance. Make a habit of inspecting your bandsaw each time you use it. Check for the following con- ditions and repair or replace when necessary.

1.Loose mounting bolts

2.Worn switch

3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs

4.Damaged V-belt

5.Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

Always perform any maintenance with the power off and the machine unplugged.

Table

The table can be kept slippery and rust-free with regular applications of talcum powder. Rub the powder into the table top with either a felt brick (i.e.-common chalk board eraser) or a chamois cloth. There are many after-market spray applica- tions available to protect the table surface and ease material handling. See a current Grizzly Industrial catalog for these types of after-market products.

Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricated, no maintenance is required on them. If, after a period of time you notice a distinct noise or rumble coming from a shielded bearing, or the bearing journal is hot to the touch after use, it will be time to replace the shielded bearing assem- bly(s). Please contact our Customer Service num- ber to order replacement bearings or to make arrangements to send your bandsaw back for ser- vice.

V-Belt

Inspect V-belt regularly for tension and wear. Replace when necessary. Check pulleys to ensure that they are properly aligned and secure- ly tightened. See “Motor Assembly” in Section 4 for proper tension and pulley alignment proce- dures.

Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any maintenance or assembly. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.
