SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

!	Disconnect power to the
	machine	when	perform-

	ing any	maintenance,
	assembly	or	adjust-
	ments. Failure to do this
	may result in serious per-
	sonal injury.

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Wear safety glasses dur- ing the entire mainte- nance process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

Tables

Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applica- tions of products like Boeshield® T-9. For long term storage you may want to consider products like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.

Lubrication

Since most of the bearings are sealed and per- manently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. The cutterhead bearings do need grease after every 80 hours of use. Unplug the machine and grease each of the two grease fittings located on each end of the cut- terhead. The front grease fitting is located in a small hole and the other is just under the bottom edge of the fence.
