Grizzly H6246 instruction manual Maintenance, Schedule, Table & Blade, Belt, Lubrication

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

!Always disconnect power to the machine before

performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious person- al injury.

Schedule

To keep your bandsaw running well, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section.

Daily Check:

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Damaged saw blade.

•Worn or damaged wires.

•Any other unsafe condition.

Monthly Check:

•V-belt tension, damage, or wear.

•Clean and sanitizer any buildup from inside cabinet and off motor.

Table & Blade

Maintain your table and blade with a thin film of food grade lubricant that will not support bacte- ria growth nor become rancid. These qualities 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.

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.

Lubrication

The wheel bearings are shielded and lubri- cated 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 grinder serves as a natural lubricant.
