MAKE SURE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORM-
ING ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENTS.
LUBRICATION
Periodically clean the filter and the recovery tray. Fill
the tank so that the liquid coolant level is between 3
and 5 liters. Machine gears are mounted in an oil-bath.
You don’t need to fill it up, except in case of gear box
leak or overheating.
Change the oil once a year by replacing it with a
80W/90 oil as follows:
1. Remove bolts A with a 10 mm wrench and then re-
move the gear box cover to drain the gear box.
2. Re-install the cover and then remove plug B. Fill the
gear box with until it reaches the hole and then re-
install the plug B.

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
After using your bandsaw, sweep up and discard any
excess metal chips and debris. Follow this maintenance
schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in
this section.
Daily:
• Check for loose mounting bolts.
• Check the blade for damage.
• Check for worn or damaged electrical wires.
• Check for any other unsafe conditions.
• Clean the metal blade brush.
Monthly:
• Inspect V-belt tension, damage, or wear.
• Clean the vise screw with compressed air and lubri-
cate as shown with an all-purpose oil.
1. Lower the arm into the horizontal position and loosen the jam nut and bolt A with a 12 mm wrench.
2. Loosen jam nuts B and bolts C with a 12 mm wrench until the motor base can be moved.
3. Open the pulley cover and change the belt.
Note: If there is not enough slack to move the belt, loosen tension bolts C as needed.
4. Place a straight edge on the two pulleys to verify their alignment. If the pulleys are not aligned, loosen the four
bolts D and E located on the motor mounting plate, and then reposition the motor along the slotted mounting
holes so that the pulleys are aligned.
5. With the pulleys aligned, retighten the four bolts D and E.
6. Retighten the two bolts C alternating one turn at a time until the belt is tensioned properly. Then secure the
motor in position by tightening the jam nuts B and the jam nut and bolt A. Close the pulley cover.
Note: check the tension by pushing the belt with your finger. The belt should not move more than 1/2”.
