SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

GeneralTable

Make a habit of inspecting your bandsaw each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary.

1.Loose mounting bolts.

2.Worn switch.

3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

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

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 your local bearing supply store.

As for other items on this machine, such as adjustment controls, an occasional “shot” of light oil is just about all that is necessary. Before applying, however, wipe off any sawdust with a clean cloth or towel and spray on the lubricant.

The table and other non-painted surfaces on the Model G1052 should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the saw clean after every use ensures that moisture from wood dust isn’t allowed to trap moisture against bare metal sur- faces.

Most experienced woodworkers recommend using automotive paste wax on exposed steel and cast iron surfaces. The wax provides a layer of protection, as well as reducing friction between lumber and the table, making cuts faster and smoother.

Avoid waxes that contain silicone or other syn- thetic ingredients. These materials can find their way into lumber that’s being worked, and can make staining and finishing difficult. If you use paste wax, make sure that it’s 100% Carnauba wax.

DO NOT make adjustments or attempt main- tenance procedures while the Model G1052 is running. Ensure that the switch is off, power is disconnected and moving parts have stopped before making adjustments. Failure to comply may result in serious per- sonal injury.
