MAINTENANCE General

Regular periodic maintenance on your planer will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your planer each time you use it.

Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary:

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Worn switch.

•Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

•Damaged V-belts.

•Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

Cleaning

Wear safety glasses and a respirator and use compressed air to blow-off dust build-up. Dust build-up around the motor can lead to motor failure.

Occasionally it will become necessary to clean the internal parts with more than compressed air. To do this, remove the covers and clean the internal parts with a citrus cleaner or mineral spirits and a stiff wire brush or steel wool. DO NOT USE WATER—WATER WILL RUST CAST IRON. Make sure the internal workings are dry before using the planer again. If any essential lubrication is removed during cleaning, relubricate those areas.

Table

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance or repairs. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Inspect your planer for loose nuts and bolts. Make sure that all tools are cleared away from the machine before starting the unit.

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