MAINTENANCE
If the table becomes difficult to tilt, position
it so that you can brush a thin coat of multi-
purpose grease on the trunnion sliding surfaces
(see Figure 36), then move back-and-forth to
distribute.
Lubrication
The bearings on your bandsaw are factory
lubricated and sealed. Leave them alone unless
they need to be replaced.
When needed, brush a light coat of multi-purpose
grease on the blade tension leadscrew (Figure
34).
Use multi-purpose grease and a light machine oil
where in Figure 35.
