BLADE CLEANING
BRUSH
Refer to Figure 7.
Make sure that brush (Key No. 36) is in contact with
wheel to properly remove foreign particles from drive
wheel.
WARNING:
Make certain that unit is disconnected
from power source before attempting to service or
remove any component.
CLEANING
Keep machine and workshop clean. Do not allow
sawdust to accumulate on band saw.
Keep wheels clean. Debris on wheels will cause
poor tracking and blade slippage.
Keep mechanisms and threaded or sliding surfaces
clean and free of foreign particles.
Operate band saw with a dust collector to minimize
clean up.
LUBRICATION
The shielded ball bearings are permanently
lubricat-
ed and require no further lubrication.
Small amounts of machine oil can be applied to belt
tension mechanisms and threaded or sliding sur-
faces.
Occasionally apply a coat of automobile type wax to
table top to keep it slick and corrosion free.
KEEP BAND SAW IN REPAIR
If power cord is worn or cut in any way, have it
replaced.
Replace V-belt and blade when they are worn.
Replace any damaged or missing part.
Use parts list to order parts.
