SERVICE

General

This section covers the most common service adjustments or procedures that may need to be made during the life of your machine.

If you require additional machine service not included in this section, please contact Woodstock International Technical Support at (360) 734-3482 or send e-mail to: tech-support@shopfox.biz.

Servicing V-Belts

To ensure optimum power transfer from the motor to the blade, the V-belts must be in good condition and operate under proper tension. Check belt tension at least every 3 months—more often if the bandsaw is used daily. V-belts stretch with use and must be periodically re-tensioned.

Accessing V-Belts

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Remove the bandsaw blade.

3.Remove the lower wheel by removing the hex bolt at the center of the wheel, then sliding the wheel off the shaft. (The hex nut has left handed threads, so you must turn it clockwise to loosen it.) You now have access to the V-belts for inspection or service (see

Figure 49).

MAKE SURE that your machine is unplugged during all service proce- dures! If this warning is ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.
