Line 135:
|Cleaning the Bandsaw ||
* Checking and emptying dust traps
* Where dust collects around the mechanisms, around the bearings, near the guard adjuster, around the wheels.
* Wiping down the table
* Lubricating the bearing sideways and guard mechanism with graphite
Line 141:
* Checking and emptying dust collection
** Checking for good airflow
** Changing filters if needed and where the filters are kept; how to know if a filter needs changing
|| Keeping it clean and lubricated makes it operate much easier
|-
Line 149:
* Making sure you're on the proper scale
* When the scales disagree
* Adjusting the scales, using zero reference to get them to match
|| Wrong blade tension will give misleading results on the rest of the tests
|-
Line 160:
* Examining the weld for cracks
* If needed then cleaning the blade with acetone or a wire brush
** For wire brush cleaning using the drill, keep the blade moving and the brush angled
* If you've discarded a blade, where to put it and who to tell.
|| Checking if the blade is still fit for use
Line 167 ⟶ 168:
* Blade changing does require basic safety equipment as the blades are razor sharp and can whip around during the procedure so the use of gloves and eye protection is wise.
** Putting the saw into neutral
** Open the door and leave it open throughout the procedure because that will cause the interlocks to inhibit the saw for an extra layer of safety
** Release all the blade guide bearings
** Remove the aluminium guide plate and open the blade access door
Line 204 ⟶ 205:
** Fine-tooth blade for finish cuts
** Thin blades for tighter curves
** Metal-rated blades for aluminium/brass/steel/stainless, hardened or chromed steels cannot be cut with this tool, annealed tool steels can
* Examine the belt carefully for kinks or twists
* Selecting a suitable gear for the new blade, changing pulleys is easier done without the blade in position.
