SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power to the machine before performing main- tenance. Failure to do this may result in seri- ous personal injury.

Cleaning

Inside Wheel Cover

To keep the bandsaw working properly, regularly open the wheel cover and vacuum sawdust.

Conveyor Belts

Use compressed air to clean the built-up sawdust from the conveyor belts. Eye injuries frequently occur when cleaning with compressed air—wear safety glasses to protect yourself! Also wear a dust mask or respirator to protect your lungs from airborne dust particles.

Elevation Columns

Use a dry rag to remove sawdust from the eleva- tion columns and wipe the them down with a light coat of oil.

Painted Surfaces

These areas may be cleaned with a dry or damp rag; however, make sure you DO NOT clean bare metal surfaces with a damp rag or they may rust.

Motor

Vacuum dust off of the motor on a regular basis. Built up dust acts as an insulator, making it dif- ficult for the motor to dissipate heat.

Hydraulic Components

Keep hydraulic components free of sawdust, especially before working on them, to avoid con- tamination of the hydraulic system.

Miscellaneous

Always be aware of the condition of your machine. Routinely check the condition of the following items and repair or replace as necessary:

•Loose mounting bolts

•Worn switch

•Worn or damaged blade

•Worn or damaged support bearings or guide bearings

V-Belts

To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blade and to the hydraulic pump, the V-belts must be in good condition (free from cracks, fraying and wear) and operate under proper tension. Check the V-belts at least every 3 months; more often if the bandsaw is used daily.

See Section 8: Service Adjustments for instruc- tions on properly tensioning the belts or for replacing the belts, if needed.

Bearings

Except for the bearings that are fitted with grease fittings, the other bearings are sealed and pre- lubricated and require no lubrication during their usable life. All bearings are standard sizes, and replacements can be purchased from our parts department or a bearing supply store.
