Lubrication
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
Table ways and the fence assembly should not be lubricated. If the tables appear to be stuck, dis- assemble and clean any foreign materials from the ways.
V-Belt
Avoid getting grease or oil on the
Sharpening Knives
The cutterhead knives can be individually honed with a fine sharpening stone. Make sure the oil- stone is flat and you have the experience and equipment to properly sharpen knives. Even the slightest nick or uneven honing can result in poor quality cutting during operation.
Consider taking your knives to a professional sharpener. This will guarantee that you get good results. Often the costs of getting your knives sharpened by a professional will offset any costs related to sharpening problems (i.e. ruined stock).
