Lubrication

The bearings on this bandsaw are pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory, and require no lubrica- tion for the life of the bearings. All bearings are standard sizes, and replacements can be pur- chased from our parts department or a 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 apply- ing, however, wipe off any sawdust with a clean cloth, towel or dry paint brush, then spray on the lubricant.

Ensure that lubricant does not get on the pulleys or V-belt, which could cause V-belt deterioration or loss of power transfer due to slippage.

Redressing Rubber

Tires

As the bandsaw ages, the rubber tires on the wheels may need to be redressed if they harden or glaze over. Redressing the rubber tires improves blade tracking and reduces vibration/blade lead.

If the rubber tires become too worn, then blade tracking will become extremely difficult. At that point, redressing will no longer be effective and the rubber tires must be replaced.

To redress the rubber tires:

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Put on heavy leather gloves.

3.Remove the blade.

4.Clean any built-up sawdust from the rubber tires and wheels.

5.Hold 100 grit sandpaper against the rub- ber tire and rotate the wheel by hand. Only redress the rubber enough to expose a fresh rubber surface.

6.Re-install the blade, then make sure the blade tracking and tension are correct.
