If the table becomes difficult to tilt, position it so
that you can brush a thin coat of multi-purpose
grease on the trunnion sliding surfaces (see
Figure 42), then move the table back and forth
to distribute. Lubrication
The bearings on your bandsaw are factory
lubricated and sealed. Leave them alone unless
they need to be replaced.
When needed, brush a light coat of multi-purpose
grease on the blade tension leadscrew (see
Figure 40).
Use multi-purpose grease and a light machine oil
where indicated in Figure 41.
