Keep the motor as clean as possible. Prevent any water, oil, or wood chips from penetrating inside the motor. Be sure to clean the machine after every use.

The bearings inside the motor are shielded and lubricated for the life of the bearing and require no routine maintenance.

This motor is equipped with long life carbon brushes. However, brush life expectancy is affect- ed by motor loading. Planing very wide, dense boards or cutting too deep will reduce brush life. Check brushes after every ten to fifteen hours of operation (Figure 24).

Figure 24. Brush holder location (another brush is located on the other side of the motor from the one shown in this picture).

When the brushes are worn down to 14'' (6mm), it is time for replacement. When checking brushes, be sure to return each brush in the same position that it came from. When replacing old brushes, be sure to replace both brushes at the same time.

The cutterhead is driven by a belt that is located on the right-hand side of the motor and cutterhead assembly (when facing the front of the machine). The belt is very durable, but with extended use may begin to slip, indicating the need for replace- ment.

To replace the belt:

1.DISCONNECT PLANER FROM POWER!

2.Remove the elevation handle and the two button head cap screws on the right-side top plate. Remove the top plate, then pull the right side cover off.

3.Remove the belt guard shown in Figure 25 by removing the cap screw that secures it.

6.Place the new belt over both pulleys. Lift the motor by hand using moderate force to apply tension to the belt, then tighten the motor mount bolt.

7.Replace the belt guard, side cover, top plate, button head cap screws, and cutterhead elevation handle.
