Blade Selection - Genesis GBS900 Manual Del Operario

Blade Selection:

WArning:
For longest wear and best cutting results, use the correct blade thickness, width, and temper for
the type of material you will cut. When sawing small curves and delicate work, use narrow blades.
Otherwise, use the widest blade possible. For cutting wood and similar materials with this band saw,
purchase blades in widths up to 3/8" (9.5 mm), and a length of 59 1/4 or 59 1/2" (150.5 or 151
mm).
Common causes of blade breakage:
• Poor guide alignment and adjustment.
• Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a short radius.
• Feeding too fast.
• Dull teeth or not enough set.
• Too much blade tension.
• Setting top guide assembly too high above the work piece.
• Lumpy or improperly finished braze or weld on the blade.
• Continuous running of blade when not cutting.

CLEANING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. use clean cloths to remove
dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WArning:
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts.
Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious
personal injury.
electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and groundings are
highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommend using
this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these
materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air.
LUBRICATION
This tool is permanently lubricated at the factory and requires no additional lubrication.
