MAINTENANCE

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule:

Daily

•Check/correct loose mounting bolts.

•Check/correct damaged saw blade.

•Check/correct worn or damaged wires.

•Correct any other unsafe condition.

Monthly

•Check for V-belt tension, damage, or wear.

•Remove blade and thoroughly clean all built-up saw- dust from the rubber tires on the wheels.

•Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabinet and off motor.

MAKE SURE that your machine is unplugged during all maintenance pro- cedures! If this warning is ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.

Cleaning

Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it.

Once a month, remove the blade and thoroughly clean all built-up sawdust from the rubber tires on the wheels.

Table & Base

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the table by wiping the table clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces. Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of general lubricants such as G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9.

If the table becomes difficult to tilt, remove it and lubricate the trunnions and the slides in the trunnion base with a general lubricant.

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, do these steps:

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.

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.
