Do not allow sawdust to accumulate on band saw. • Keep wheels clean. Debris on wheels will cause poor tracking and blade slippage. • Keep mechanisms and threaded or sliding surfaces clean and free of foreign particles. • Operate band saw with a dust collector to minimize clean up. LUBRICATION • The shielded ball bearings are permanently lubricat- ed and require no further lubrication. • Small amounts of machine oil can be applied to belt tension mechanisms and threaded or sliding surfaces. • Occasionally apply a coat of paste wax to table top to keep it slick and corrosion free. KEEP BAND SAW IN REPAIR • If power cord is worn or cut in any way, have it replaced. • Replace any damaged or missing part. • Use parts list to order parts. 8
