Once a year, replace the oil in the gear box. Lower
the headstock all the way, then have an assis-
tant help you tilt the bandsaw so the gear box is
level and oil will not spill out when the cover is
removed. Remove the six hex bolts and flat wash-
ers (see Figure 48) to remove the gear box cover.

Use shop rags to absorb and remove the existing
oil, then use mineral spirits to clean the gears and
the inside of the box. Once the gears are dry, add
as much new ISO 320 oil as the gear box will hold
without overflowing, then install the cover.
