9.0 Maintenance

Disconnect machine from
power source before making any repair or
adjustment. Failure to do this may result in
serious personal injury.
1. Keep all surfaces clean and free of rust,
slag, chips, and coolant build-up.
2. Do not use compressed air to clean the
band saw. Compressed air may force chips
into the guide bearings and other critical
areas of the saw.
3. Use a small paint brush or parts cleaning
brush to remove metal particles.
4. Wipe the saw down with a clean, dry cloth
and oil all unpainted surfaces with light
machine oil.
5. Keep the blade guides clean and free of
metal chips.
6. Check the guide bearings frequently to
make sure they are properly adjusted and
turning freely.

9.1 Lubrication

Ball bearings on the blade guide assemblies and
the blade wheels are permanently sealed and
require no lubrication.
Lightly lubricate the vise screw with #2 tube
grease.
Change gear box oil after the first 90 days of
operation. Thereafter, change every six months.
To change gear box oil:
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Place saw bow in horizontal position.
3. Remove screws (A, Figure 23) from gear
box and remove cover plate and gasket.

9.2 Chip Cleaning Brush

blade brush with machine running. Adjust
only when machine's power cord has been
removed from power source.
It is very important that the blade cleaning brush
be properly adjusted and kept in good working
order. Replace the brush if it becomes damaged
or worn out. Blade life will be shortened severely
if the brush is allowed to go out of adjustment,
becomes damaged, or is worn out.
