WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH
"OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE
OUTLET BEFORE MAINTAINING OR LUBRICATING
YOUR BAND SAW.
TIRES
Pitch and sawdust that accumulate on the tires should be
removed with a stiff brush or scraped off with a piece of
wood. Do not use a sharp knife or any kind of solvent.
When the tires become worn they should be replaced. When
replacing the tires, stretch them around the wheels but do
not glue them on.
GENERAL
Keep your Band Saw/Sander clean.
Remove the sawdust from the inside.
Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the table, the insert,
the guides or the thrust bearings. Clean them with Crafts-
man Gum and Pitch Remover. CAUTION: Do not immerse
the thrust bearings.
Apply a thin coat of automobile-type wax on the table so
that the wood slides easily while cutting.
MOTOR
Frequently blow out any sawdust from the motor.
If the power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately.
For motor maintenance, follow instructions furnished with
the motor.
LUBRICATION
All of the BALL BEARINGS are packed with grease at the
factory. They require no further lubrication.
For motor lubrication, follow instructions furnished with
the motor.
Periodically apply a few drops of oil to the upper wheel
guide rods.
