MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATION

The recommended lubrication for roller chains used in medium to low operation is to simply wipe the chain clean. When there is an excess build up of dust or wood shavings etc., coat chain with a light film of oil but never pour the oil directly on the chain. Over -oiling tends to hasten the collection of dust and woodshavings and works them into members of the chain leading to increased wear and premature replacement. This applies to the speed reduction and height adjustment chains as well as the elevation screws.

The bearings on the cutterhead are factory lubricated and sealed. They require no further attention.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Build-up of sawdust and other debris can cause your machine to plane inaccurately. Periodic cleaning is mandatory for precision planing and highly recommended.

Close fitting parts, such as the lockbars and the planer cutterhead slots, should be cleaned with a brush; removing clinging foreign matter. Then replace all parts in their respective positions slightly dampened with oil.

Remove resin and other accumulations from feed rollers and table with a non-flamable solvent.
