- 20 - Hunters Meat Cutting

Bandsaw

Since the moving parts on this machine run

on shielded ball bearings, you will find that

there is very little in the line of routine mainte-

nance outside of cleaning (See Section XI).

However, “little maintenance” does not imply

“no maintenance." This section will cover a

few simple but crucial steps for the proper

maintenance of your bandsaw.

A. Lubrication

Shielded and pre-lubricated ball bearings

require no extra lubrication for the life of the

bearings. All bearings are standard sizes. If

they wear out, replacements can be easily

purchased from our parts department or bear-

ing supply stores.

As for other items on this machine, such as

adjustment controls, an occasional “shot” of

light oil is just about all that is necessary.

Before applying, however, wipe off any debris

with a clean cloth or towel and spray on the

lubricant. Ensure that oil does not get on the

pulleys or V-Belts because it could cause belt

deterioration and slipping. Wipe off any spray

that gets on the blade, meat grinder, or any

stainless steel cutting surfaces.

XII. Maintenance

B. Miscellaneous

Always be aware of the condition of your

bandsaw before using it. Routinely check the

condition of the following items and repair or

replace as necessary.

1. Loose mounting bolts.

2. Worn switch.

3. Worn or damaged blade.

4. Worn or damaged support bearings or

guide blocks.

5. Worn or damaged V-Belt.

6. Any other condition that may affect safe

operation of this machine.
