MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
Sealed and pre-lubricated ball bearings require no
lubrication for the life of the bearings, all bear-
ings are standard sizes, and replacements can be
purchased from our parts department or a bearing
supply store.
For adjustment controls, and occasional "shot" of
light oil is just about all that is necessary, wipe off
any sawdust with a clean cloth, towel, or dry paint
brush, and spray on the lubricant, no not get oil
on the pulleys or V-belt because it could cause belt
deterioration and slipping.
CLEANING
Cleaning your band saw is relatively easy, vacuum
excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the
remaining dust with a dry cloth, if any resin has
built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it,
treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-
staining lubricant after cleaning.
WHEEL BRUSH
The band saw is equipped with a lower wheel
brush, the brush should be check daily and cleaned
when it becomes dirty, there is an adjustment
bracket that allows the brush to be adjusted for
bristle wear.
TROUBLESHOOTING
This section covers the most common processing
problems encountered in sawing and what to do
about them.
Do not make any adjustments until the table saw
is unplugged from the power source and moving
parts have come to a complete stop.
The machine does not work when switched
on.
No power supply. Check the cable for breakage.
Defective switch. Contact your local dealer for re-
pair.
The blade does not move with the motor run-
ning.
The quick release lever or blade tensión hadwheel
has not been tightened. Switch off the motor,
tighten the quick reléase lever or blade tension
handwheel.
The blade has come off one of the wheels. Open
the hinged door and check.
The saw blade has broken. Replace the blade.
The drive belt has snapped. Replace the belt.
16
The blade does not cut in a straight line.
Fence for cutting not used. Use a fence.
Too fast feed rate. Put light pressure on the work-
piece and make sure the blade does not bend.
The blade teeth are dull or damaged. Use a new
blade.
Blade guides not suitably adjusted. Adjust the
blade guide.
The blade does not cut, or cuts very slowly.
The teeth are dull caused by cutting hard material
or long use. Replace the blade, use a 6 TPI blade
for wood and soft materials. Use a 14 TPI blade for
harder materials. A 14 TPI blade always cuts slower
due to the finer teeth and the slower cutting per-
formance.
The blade was mounted in the wrong direction. Fit
the blade correctly.
Sawdust inside the motor housing.
Excessive dust build-up on the machine exterior
components. Clean the ventilating slots of the mo-
tor with a vacuum cleaner. From time to time re-
move the sawdust to prevent it from being sucked
into the housing.
The machine does not cut at 45˚ or 90˚ angles.
The table is not at right angles to the blade. Adjust
the table.
The blade is dull or too much pressure was put on
the workpiece. Replace the blade or put less pres-
sure on the workpiece.
The blade cannot be properly positioned on
the bandwheels.
The wheels are not in alignment. Defective bear-
ing.
The blade tracking knob hasn't been properly ad-
justed. Adjust the knob.
