Maintenance

To avoid injury due to unexpected starting, before cleaning or carring out maintenance

work, switch off and disconnect the drill press from the power source.
1. Never use water or other liquids to clean the drill press. Use a dry brush.
2. Regular maintenance of the drill press will prevent unnecessary problems.
3. Keep the table clean to ensure accurate cutting.
4. Keep the outside of the machine clean to ensure accurate operation of all moving parts and prevent
excessive wear.

5. Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate on the motor.
6. Apply paste wax to the table and column, to help keep the surface clean.
7. Check belts for wear and replace.

8. Keep the ventilation slots of the motor clean to prevent it from overheating.
9. Keep the inside (near the saw blade, etc.) clean to prevent accumulation of dust. Use dust collection
if possible.
10.To prolong the life of the blade, when the bandsaw is not in use for extended periods, release the
blade tension.

Before reusing the bandsaw ensure that the blade is re-tensioned and tracking is checked.
