All bearings and the gearbox on the Model G0664 are lubricated and sealed for life. No further atten- tion is needed unless damage occurs.

To lubricate the bandsaw:

1.Lubricate the blade tensioner leadscrew (Figure 46) with multi-purpose grease, and apply a coat of high-quality metal protectant such as SLIPIT® on Page 40 to all unpro- tected cast iron surfaces.
