All machinery will develop serious rust problems 

and corrosion damage if it is not properly 

prepared for storage. If decommissioning this 

machine, use the steps in this section to ensure 

that it remains in good condition.

1.  DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.  Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal 

surfaces, then coat them with a light weight 

grease or rust preventative. Take care to 

ensure these surfaces are completely covered 

but that the grease or rust preventative is 

kept off of painted surfaces.

If the machine will be out of service for only 

a short period of time, use way oil or a good 

grade of medium-weight machine oil (not 

auto engine oil) in place of the grease or rust 

preventative.

3.  Loosen or remove the belt so it does not 

become stretched during storage.

4.  Remove the four hex bolts that secure the 

gearbox cover, then remove the gearbox 

cover and downfeed ram bracket.

5.  Use a handheld oil pump to draw the oil out 

of the gearbox, then use a rag to remove any 

remaining oil and sediment.

6.  Add oil to the gearbox until it is 

approximately half full, then replace the 

gearbox cover.

If the V-belt shows signs of excessive wear, such 

as cracking or fraying, it must be replaced.

1.  DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.  Open the belt cover, then loosen the belt 

tension bolt shown in Figure 50 to allow the 

motor to pivot.

3.  Lift the motor to relieve the belt tension, 

then remove the belt.

4.  Install a new belt, then release the motor 

and let its weight tension the belt.

5.  Re-tighten the belt tension bolt and close the 

belt cover.
