GENERAL MAINTENANCE

WARNING
!
For your own safety, turn switch OFF and remove the
plug from power source receptacle before maintaining,
cleaning,adjusting, or lubricating your band saw.
WARNING
!
To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use gasoline,
naphtha, acetone, lacquer thinner or similar highly
volatile solvents to clean the band saw.
WARNING
!
To avoid eye injury from blowing debris, wear safety
goggles when blowing out sawdust.
MAINTENANCE
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse
any part of the tool into a liquid.
BAND SAW
Sawdust will accumulate under the table and base. This
could cause difficulty in the movement of the table when
setting up a band saw cut. Frequently blow out or
vacuum up the sawdust.
Keep your band saw clean. Remove the sawdust from
the inside. Vacuum or blow out frequently.
Do not allow debris to build up on the table, the guides,
or the support bearings. Clean them with gum and pitch
remover.
NOTE: Do not immerse the support bearings in the gum
and pitch remover.
Apply a thin coat of paste wax on the table so that the
wood slides easily while cutting.
BLADE WHEEL TIRES
Pitch and sawdust that build up on the tires should be
removed with a stiff brush or scraped off with a piece of
wood.
NOTE: To avoid damaging the tires do not use a sharp
knife or any kind of solvent.
When the tires become worn, they should be replaced.
When replacing the tires, stretch them around the
wheels but do not glue them on.
MOTOR
Frequently blow or vacuum out any sawdust from the
motor. Follow lubrication instruction on the motor label.
WARNING
!
To avoid electrocution or fire, immediately replace a
worn, cut or damaged power cord.
