Maintenance Requirements… Do all machines require the same maintenance tasks? If there is more than one band saw in a shop, are the band saws’ maintenance requirements the same?
Factors of Maintenance • Maintenance requirements can vary between different types of machines and each machine individually. • The maintenance that is needed for one particular machine depends on two factors: • Age of the machine • Manufacturer of the machine
Maintenance Checklists To perform maintenance on a given machine, you will need to do the following: • Check the machine’s history. • Review the checklist from the machine’s previous maintenance and read through any comments made. • Review the manufacturer’s specifications regarding maintenance. • Perform maintenance on the machine according to your checklist and manufacturer’s specifications (while taking into account any information from past maintenance).
