BEFORE CLEANING OR CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE WORK, DISCONNECT
THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE (WALL SOCKET). NEVER USE WATER OR OTHER
LIQUIDS TO CLEAN THE MACHINE. USE A BENCH BRUSH. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED
AIR NEAR BEARINGS. REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF THE MACHINE WILL PREVENT
UNNECESSARY PROBLEMS.
1. Keep the table clean to ensure accurate cutting.
2. Keep the outside of the machine clean to ensure accurate operation of all moving parts and
prevent excessive wear.
3. Keep the ventilation slots of the motor clean to prevent it from overheating.
4. Keep the inside of the machine (near the saw blade, etc.) clean to prevent accumulation of dust.
Use dust collection, if possible.
5. To prolong the life of the blade, when the bandsaw is not in use for extended periods, release
the blade tension. Before reusing the bandsaw, ensure that the blade is re-tensioned and
tracking is checked.
6. Keep the guide bearings free of dust, and clean the guide bearing assemblies frequently.
Use this section to record maintenance, service and any calls to Technical Support.
