SECTION 8: MAINTENANCE

Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in seri- ous personal injury.

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model G0560 Meat-Cutting Bandsaw ensures its opti- mum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your bandsaw each time you use it.

Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary.

1.Loose mounting bolts.

2.Worn switch.

3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4.Damaged V-belt.

5.Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

Table & Blade

Maintain your table and blade with a thin film of food grade lubricant that will not support bacteria growth and will not become rancid. These quali- ties are important because some food grade oils will become rancid over time and may cause ill- nesses. Make sure that the product you use is specifically designed for protecting food process- ing machinery. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when using their products.

Lubrication

The wheel bearings are shielded and lubricated for life; thus, they require no maintenance throughout their lifespan. Occasionally lubricate the tracking and height adjustment controls with the same food grade lubricant that you use on the table.

DO NOT lubricate the meat grinder. The meat processed in the meat grinder naturally lubricates the grinder.

V-Belt

Avoid getting grease or oil on the V-belt or pul- leys. Check the V-belt, as part of a monthly inspection for proper tension and belt condition. Cracking and glazing could result in belt failure. Replace the belt if such conditions appear.
