Lubrication

Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated, leave them alone until they need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them. However, your planer does need lubrication in the following listed places, depending on heavy use and the shop environment:

•Columns and Lead Screws — Lubricate columns as needed with light oil to prevent rust, and lubricate the four lead screws with a general purpose grease to prevent rust and maintain smooth operation.

•Chain — Inspect the table height adjustment chain periodically and lubricate as needed. Use high quality chain lubricant for best results.

•Gear Box — Drain the gear box after the first 30 hours of operation. Figure 41 shows the gear box drain and fill plugs. Refill with 80-90w gear oil. The oil level should reach the top of the filler plug port. After the initial change, inspect fluid levels periodically and change yearly. If your planer receives heavy use, change the gear oil more frequently.

•Drive Chains — Inspect and lubricate the drive chains every six months. Check the sprockets, the chain, and the master links during inspection. Use a general purpose grease to lubricate the chain.

•Feed Rollers — The four feed roller plugs have holes to accept oil. Make sure that no dust is in the oil holes and lubricate all four feed roller plugs with two drops of oil before daily start-up. Figure 42 shows the lubrication points for the feed rollers. DO NOT lubricate more than two drops or the excess oil will end up on the floor.
