MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum- based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.

nKeep your band saw clean.

nRemove sawdust from the inside frequently.

nDo not allow pitch to accumulate on the saw table, blade guides, or thrust bearings. Clean them with gum and pitch remover.

nApply a thin coat of automobile type wax to the saw table’s top so the wood slides easily while cutting.

LUBRICATION

All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrica- tion is required.

MOTOR/ELECTRICAL

n Frequently vacuum or blow out sawdust from the motor.

WARNING:

If the power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately by a qualified service tech- nician. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

To avoid fire or electrocution, reassemble electric parts with only identical replacement parts. Reassemble ex- actly as originally assembled.

TIRES

Cleaning tires:

nPitch and sawdust accumulates on tires and needs to be removed with a fine wire brush or a piece of wood. Do not use a sharp knife or any kind of solvent.

Replacing tires:

nOpen front cover and remove saw blade. See section on Installing and Adjusting the Blade, page 20.

nPry the worn tire away from the wheel carefully.

nStretch the new tire around the wheel.

nReplace the saw blade and close the front cover.
