GENERAL MAINTENANCE
• For your own safety, turn switch OFF and remove
the plug from power source receptacle before
maintaining, cleaning, adjusting, or lubricating your
band saw.
• To avoid fi re or toxic reaction, never use gasoline,
naphtha, acetone, lacquer thinner or similar highly
volatile solvents to clean the band saw.
• To avoid eye injury from blowing debris, wear safety
goggles when blowing out sawdust.
BAND SAW
Sawdust will accumulate under the table and base. This
could cause diffi culty in the movement of the table when
setting up a band saw cut, and also cause a fi re hazard.
Frequently blow out or vacuum up the sawdust.
Keep your band saw clean. Remove the sawdust from
the inside. Vacuum or blow out frequently.
Do not allow fi lth to build up on the table, the guides, or
the support bearings. Clean them with gum and pitch
remover.
NOTE:
Do not immerse the support bearing in the gum
and pitch remover.
Put a thin coat of paste wax on the table so that the
wood slides easily while cutting.
