Use of any other parts can create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1 during product operation. If
operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

Before performing any maintenance, make sure the tool
is unplugged from the power supply and the switch is in
the off position. Failure to heed this warning could result

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
 Keep your band saw clean.
 Remove sawdust from the inside frequently.
 Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the saw table, blade
guides, or thrust bearings. Clean them with gum and pitch
remover.
 Apply a thin coat of automobile type wax to the saw
table's top so the wood slides easily while cutting.

MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATION

All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication
is required.
MOTOR/ELECTRICAL
 Frequently vacuum or blow out sawdust from the motor.
TIRES
Cleaning tires:
 Pitch and sawdust accumulates on tires and needs to be
removed with a fine wire brush or a piece of wood. Do
not use a sharp knife or any kind of solvent.
Replacing tires:
 Open front cover and remove saw blade. See section on
Installing and Adjusting the Blade, page 13.
 Pry the worn tire away from the wheel carefully.
 Stretch the new tire around the wheel.
 Replace the saw blade and close the front cover.
BRUSH
See Figure 21,
There is a brush located inside the saw housing next to the
wheel. It helps protect the tire and wheel by brushing off
saw dust. As the brush becomes worn, it will need to be
adjusted or replaced.
 Remove the screw and washer then pull the brush off.
 Place the new brush in the groove.
 Reinstall using the washer and screw.
