SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power to the machine when performing mainte- nance. 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 belt 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.

To adjust the V-belt:

1.The V-belt is accessed via the bottom cover.

2.Squeeze the center of the V-belt.

3.Note the amount of deflection.

4.Deflection should be approximately 34".

5.Loosen the bolts which secure the motor support bracket to the back of the bandsaw and pull the motor and bracket up.

6.Tighten the bolts and recheck the tension.

7.Make further adjustments if needed until the belt deflects 34".

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 18" and 20" Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws 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 surfaces.

To keep table rust free:

1.Use regular applications of products like SLIPIT®.

2.For long term storage consider using prod- ucts like Boeshield® T-9. See the current Grizzly catalog for complete list of these products.
