SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious person- al injury.

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section.

Daily Check:

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Worn switch.

•Worn or damaged cords or plugs.

•Damaged V-belt.

•Any other unsafe condition.

DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust any features of the machine while it is run- ning. Wait until the machine is turned OFF, unplugged, and all working parts have come to a rest before you do anything!

Lubrication

The chain should be lubricated periodically with a light machine oil. Motor bearings need no lubri- cation. Use only adequate lubrication. Too much lubricant will attract dirt and sawdust and will clog the chain mechanism.

Pillow Block Bearing: Must be lubricated every

20hours of operation. Use a high-quality, lithium- based grease. A grease fitting (Figure 20) is located on the top of each pillow block bearing.
