MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off the machine and disconnect the power supply before conducting any maintenance work or
adjusting any settings.
CHANGING THE SAW BLADE
1. Raise the head of the bandsaw to a vertical position. Use the head locking pin to hold it in place, then remove
the wheel access cover.
2. Loosen the tension knob and slip the blade off of the wheels.
3. Install the new blade through both blade guide bearings and around the bottom wheel.
4. Hold the blade around the bottom wheel with one hand and slip it around the top wheel with the other hand,
keeping the blade between the blade guide bearings.
5. Tighten the tension knob so the blade will not slip on the wheels upon startup.
REPLACING THE OIL
If undergoing normal usage, replace the oil approximately once every year. The oil quantity is 90 mL. For profes-
sional or industrial use, replace more often. To access the oil, open the gearbox by removing the screws. Drain
the oil and replace it. Refer to exploded view for location of the gearbox.
The oil type used with your bandsaw is L-CKE220 (viscosity grade 220).
GENERAL MACHINE CARE
• Routinely check the condition of the power supply cords and replace them if they are broken, worn or if inter-
nal wires are showing.
• Use a brush and a shop vacuum to remove chips and other debris from the machine.
• Always keep the machine hand grip clean to prevent accidental slipping during use.
• Remove the processing residues from the cutting area and the blade guides whenever necessary.
• If you do not intend to use the sawing machine for a long time, clean it and put it in a dry place if possible. In
these cases, it is advisable to make sure the blade stays slack so that it is not kept under tension during storage for
any reason.
• To ensure effective machine operation, check the condition of the blade daily. Sharpen it as necessary.
