Grizzly G1011Z instruction manual Maintenance, TableV-Belt

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

TableV-Belt

The table and other non-painted surfaces on the Model G1011Z should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the saw clean after every use helps to ensure that coolant and chips won’t begin to corrode the working surfaces of the bandsaw.

Protect the table surfaces with a light coating of oil periodically, especially when the saw will not be used for a time period.

To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blade, the V-belt must be in good condition and must be under the proper tension. The belt should be checked for cracks, fraying and wear. Belt integrity should be checked at least every 3 months; more often if the bandsaw is used daily.

Make sure the belt is tensioned properly whenev- er speed changes are made Refer to the Cutting Speed section for more complete detail on the speeds and moving the belt.

Make your workshop “child-safe.” Remove all safety keys from this and other machin- ery when they’re not in use. Place sharp tools and blades high enough to discourage curious fingers. Store lubricants, finishes and other harmful chemicals where they can’t be easily reached. Lock your work- shop securely when you are away.

Operating this equipment has the poten- tial to propel debris into the air which can cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass- es or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
