Table and Base
The moisture from the wood dust remains on
the table surface and can cause rust. Protect
the un-painted cast iron surfaces of the table
by cleaning the table after every use or apply a
protective coating.
If the table becomes harder to tilt, remove the
table and apply a few drops of oil on the
trunnions.

V-Belts

The V-belts stretch with use, and should be
re-tensioned periodically. To ensure optimum
power transfer from the motor to the blade, the
belt must be in good condition and under
proper tension.
Check the V-belts at least after every 3 months
and more often if the band saw is used daily.
