Kawasaki 840076 - Manual (Page 17)

If you must use an extension cord, be sure that the gauge is large enough to carry
the amount of current necessary for your power tool. If not, your tool may experi-
ence a loss of power, excessive voltage drop or overheating. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord (see table below).

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
It is important to keep your metal cutting band saw in perfect operating condition.
CLEANING
After every use of the metal cutting band saw, the saw and surrounding area should
be cleaned thoroughly to remove any buildup of metal filings. Use an air hose or soft
bristled brush to clean the saw components. Sweep around the saw or use a shop
vacuum to remove the debris from the floor.
LUBRICATION
Use Lubricant (L-HV32) for the following:
• Ball bearing - none
• Blade guide bearing, drive wheel bearing - none
• Vise lead screw - oil as needed
The drive gears run in an oil bath and should not require lubrication more than once
per year. To change the oil in the gear box, refer to and proceed as follows:
1. Lower the saw head to the horizontal position.
2. Loosen the four screws on the gearbox cover.
3. Place a pan under the right lower corner of the gearbox.
4. Slowly raise the saw head emptying the used oil into the pan.
5. When all of the oil is emptied, lower the saw head back to the horizontal position.
6. Fill the gearbox with new lubricant and tighten the four screws.
ACCESSORIES
Contact ALLTRADE Customer Service at 1-800-590-3723 (toll free) to find out
what accessories are available for the band saw.
Only use accessories that are designed to fit your partic-
ular band saw. These accessories should be specifically labeled to match
the speed and arbor size of the band saw. Failure to use the proper acces-
sories could result in property damage, damage to the band saw, and seri-
ous personal injury to the operator.
Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-hole) outlets.
If the band saw must be used outside, use an extension cord labeled “W-A” or
“W.” These extension cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the chances of
electrical shock.
