NOTE: The guide and thrust bearing should turn freely
when the bandsaw is in use. If the bearings are stiff, clean
them as mentioned above. If this still does not rectify
the problem the bearings are worn and will need to
bereplaced.
• The pivots and the slides of the top wheel mounting
assembly, captive stub axle of the belt tensioner could
likewise be lightly oiled.
• Over time the drive belt can slacken, if adjustment is required
loosen the motor locking handle (C) and press down the
motor assembly handle (D) until the belt is under tension.
Re-tighten the locking handle to secure the motor in position,
see fig 105-106.
