3.Plywood has a tendency to chip out on exposed edges. A back-up board should be used as needed (see Figure 29).

Maintenance

Before doing maintenance on the machine, disconnect it from the electrical supply. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.

If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.

The table and other exposed metal parts should be kept clean and free of rust. A coat of paste wax will help protect the table from tarnishing.

After each day’s use, brush or blow out dust and debris from the cutter, table, motor, etc.

Keep the clamping bars clean to prevent debris adhering to them, which can scar workpieces.

Keep clean the travel rods upon which the headstock slides.

Lubrication

The linear bushings by which the headstock travels on the rods are pre-lubricated and sealed; they do not require additional lubrication.

The spindle bearing should be lubricated as needed, according to machine usage. Apply VG- 120 grease through the grease nipple on the spindle (#10 in the exploded view on page 27).
