SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in seri- ous personal injury.

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model H2801 4" Jointer ensures its optimum perfor- mance. Make a habit of inspecting your jointer each time you use it.

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

1.Loose mounting bolts.

2.Worn switch.

3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4.Damaged V-belt.

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

Table

The table and other non-painted surfaces on the Model H2801 should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the table clean after every use ensures that wood dust isn’t allowed to trap mois- ture against bare metal surfaces.

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

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 V-belts or pul- leys. Check the V-belts, as part of a monthly inspection for proper tension and belt condition. Cracking and glazing could result in belt failure. Replace the belt if such conditions appear.

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).
