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 a quality medium-

weight machine oil (not auto engine oil) in 

place of the grease or rust preventative.

3.  Remove the blade so it does not stretch or 

rust while the machine is stored.

4.  If the machine will be out of service for only 

a short period of time, start the machine 

once every 2–3 months and run it in each 

speed for a few minutes. This will put a fresh 

coat of gear oil on the gearing components 

inside the gearbox. 

 

If it will be out of service for a long period 

of time, drain, then completely fill the 

gearbox with the recommended gear oil so 

components above the normal oil level do 

not develop rust. (Make sure to put a tag 

on the controls as a reminder for the re-

commissioning process to adjust the gear oil 

level before starting the machine.)

5.  Completely cover the machine with a tarp 

or plastic sheet that will keep out dust and 

resist liquid or moisture. If machine will be 

stored in/near direct sunlight, use a cover 

that will block the sun's rays.

loosen the gearbox fill plug (Figure 37).

Place the drain pan under the drain plug, 

then remove the drain plug to drain the oil.

then add oil through the fill plug hole until 

the oil level is to the center of the sight glass.
