Lubrication

Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated, leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.

The Model W1683 does need lubrication in other places.

•Columns and Lead Screws — Remove dust covers for access. Lubricate columns weekly with light oil, and lubricate the four lead screws once a month with general purpose grease.

•Worm Gear — Inspect the worm gear monthly and lubricate when needed. The worm gear box will need to be removed to perform the inspection. See Figure 37.

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

•Gear Box — Drain the gear box after the first 20 hours of operation. Figure 38 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 Chain — Inspect and lubricate the drive chain monthly. Check the sprockets, the chain, and the master links during inspection. Use a general purpose grease to lubricate the chain.

•Feed Rollers — Lubricate feed rollers daily before start-up. Figure 39 shows the lubrication points for the feed rollers. These are screws that have holes drilled through them to allow oiling. Make sure that dust is not trapped in these screws and apply 2 drops of light oil in each to penetrate the bearings. Do not lubricate more than this or the excess will end up on the floor.
