Problem: A small amount of surface rust has appeared on some of the steel parts.
Solution: This rust is removable with light machine oil, WD40 or naval jelly. Rust will not effect the function or life
of the saw.
Problem: Water pump sounds like it's running, but no water is being pumped through the hose.
Solution: The nozzle may be clogged or the pump needs to be primed. To prime the pump, insure the water
level in the bucket covers the pump. Turn pump so air enters the intake opening. Submerse the
pump down into the water again and watch for water
Problem: Work material becomes jammed.
Cause:
Twisted blade, caused by work material being forced.
Solution: Before freeing any jammed material:
1. Turn OFF power switch immediately.
2. Open front panels of the saw.
3. Rotate top wheel assembly counter clockwise until blade is freed from work material.
4. Hold blade
stretched while you are disengaging the material.
5. Continue to maneuver work material from the blade until free.
Problem: Blade twists, poor cutting accuracy.
Cause:
Blade tension too loose or worn blade guides.
Solution: 1. Adjust guides on both upper and lower blade guide assemblies as close as possible to the sides of
the blade, being careful not to pinch the blade.
2. Change blade guides if necessary.
3. Adjust blade tension, see page 3.
Problem: Saw runs slowly or stops while cutting.
Cause:
Drive belt damage or blown fuse.
Solution: See Band Saw Use and Maintenance, Drive Belt Tension and Replacement-Section H and Section I,
page 4.
To replace fuse, unscrew and remove fuse cover located on the front of the saw baody (Fig. 8).
Remove and discard old fuse, replace with a new (see additional parts list page 6). Secure in place
with fuse cover.
Problem: Blade has cut excessively into back thrust bearing.
Cause:
Back thrust bearing is to close to blade.
Solution: Adjust back thrust bearing ¹/
against blade guide assembly to prevent the blade from being pulled or
to
away from the blade.
