Guide Post Gears

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Lower the guide post down so the upper guide bearings almost touch the table, then open the upper wheel cover to access the gears, shown in Figure 56.

3.Use a 6mm hex wrench to remove the four cap screws that hold the cover plate in place. (The gears can be greased without removing the cover plate, but removing the cover plate makes cleaning easier.)

4.Wipe as much of the old grease off the gears as possible, and also wipe off the rack (the long plate with teeth that contact the pinion gear). The old grease will be contaminated with wood or metal dust, so you want to remove as much of it as possible.

5.Use mineral spirits or the degreaser shown in Figure 4 on Page 12 to clean any remaining grease from the gears and rack. Make sure to thoroughly wipe off the degreaser or mineral spirits after use so they won't contaminate the new grease.

6.Use a small, clean brush to apply automo- tive-grade multi-purpose grease to the pinion gear. After applying, rotate the handle two or three times to distribute the grease.

7.Coat the inside cover plate with a light layer of grease and replace it.

8.Close the upper wheel cover, and re-adjust the guide post height as necessary.
