Cleanup

The unpainted surfaces of the extension block are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.

Complete removal of the rust preventative is nec­essary for the extension block and upper arm to fit
properly and be accurately positioned.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable Rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

1. Put on safety glasses.

2. Apply a liberal amount of cleaner/degreaser

on the rust preventative, then let it soak for
5–10 minutes.

3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/
degreaser is effective, the rust preventative
will wipe off easily. If you have a plastic paint
scraper, scrape off as much as you can first,
then wipe off the rest with the rag.

4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.

4. Taking care not to disconnect any wiring,

remove the power switch and the double cord
clamp (Figure 2). Let the switch hang to the
side for now.

Note: The switch is fastened in place with

one screw above the box and one below it.
Avoid removing the two screws on the face
of the switch box, as this will open the switch
box cover, exposing the wiring inside.

5. Remove the hex nut and bolt shown in
Figure 2. With help from another person, lift

the upper arm off the base casting.

IMPORTANT: Make sure all mating surfaces

20. Install the 105" bandsaw blade, and without

starting the saw, tension the blade approxi­mately where it should be for a regular cutting
operation.

— If you have difficulty setting the tension on

the 105" blade, the tensioning mechanism
on the bandsaw may need to be re-adjust­ed to accommodate the new blade length.
Follow the Blade Tensioner instructions in
the G0555LX Owner's Manual.

21. Align the bandsaw wheels so they are
coplaner. Refer to Wheel Alignment proce­dure in the G0555LX Owner's Manual.

Congratulations! The riser block installation

procedure is now complete.
