MAINTENANCE

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.

Cleaning

Frequently blow-off dust with compressed air. This is especially important for the internal working parts and motor. Dust build-up around the motor is a sure way to decrease its life span.

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.

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model W1683 20" 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-belt.

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

Table And Base

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™.
