BLADE BRUSHES

Two blade brushes (A) and (B) Fig. 31, are provided to

keep the blade and tires clean and free of any build-up

of chips. Brush (A) cleans the tire and brush (B) cleans

the blade. Adjustment of the brushes can be made by

loosening the mounting hardware and adjusting the

brushes accordingly.

DUST CHUTE

Fig. 33Fig. 32

A dust chute (A) Fig. 32, is provided which enables you

to connect your band saw to a standard shop vacuum or

dust collector, as shown in Fig. 33. The opening of the

dust chute is 2-1/4" I.D.

BLADES

Always use a sharp blade. Keep it free from gum and

pitch. Keep the rubber tires free of sawdust and gum and

pitch accumulation. Clean frequently with a stiff fiber

brush.

Narrow blades are used for cutting small circles or

curves while the wider blades are best suited for straight

cutting such as ripping.

Due to the low cost of blades it is advisable to purchase

new blades rather than attempt to have them sharpened.

Make sure the blade guides are always adjusted properly

as previously outlined.

Do not force or twist the blade around a curve or a very

short radius.

Feed the work uniformly allowing the blade to cut - do

not feed too fast.

Do not apply excessive tension on blades. The tension is

only necessary to drive the blade without slipping on the

wheels. Narrow blades require more tension than wider

blades.
