Maintenance General; Table; Bearings; V-Belt - Grizzly G1019Z Instruction Manual

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
General
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model
G1019Z Bandsaw will ensure its optimum perfor-
mance. Make a habit of inspecting your bandsaw
each time you use it. Check for the following con-
ditions and repair or replace when necessary.
1. Loose mounting bolts
2. Worn switch
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs
4. Damaged V-belt
5. Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
Always perform any maintenance with the power
off and the machine unplugged.

Table

The table can be kept slippery and rust-free with
regular applications of talcum powder. Rub the
powder into the table top with either a felt brick
(i.e.-common chalk board eraser) or a chamois
cloth. There are many after-market spray applica-
tions available to protect the table surface and
ease material handling. See a current Grizzly
Industrial catalog for these types of after-market
products.

Bearings

Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, no maintenance is required on them.
If, after a period of time you notice a distinct noise
or rumble coming from a shielded bearing, or the
bearing journal is hot to the touch after use, it will
be time to replace the shielded bearing assem-
bly(s). Please contact our Customer Service num-
ber to order replacement bearings or to make
arrangements to send your bandsaw back for ser-
vice.

V-Belt

Inspect V-belt regularly for tension and wear.
Replace when necessary. Check pulleys to
ensure that they are properly aligned and secure-
ly tightened. See "Motor Assembly" in Section 4
for proper tension and pulley alignment proce-
dures.
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any maintenance or
assembly. Failure to do
this may result in serious
personal injury.
