MAINTENANCE
After considerable use, the knives will become dull and it will not be possible to do accurate work. Unless badly damaged by running into metal or other hard material, the knives may be sharpened as follows:
WHETTING KNIVES
Disconnect machine from power source.
Use a fine carborundum stone, cover it partly with paper as indicated in Fig. 74 to avoid marking the table. Lay the stone on the infeed table, lower the table and turn the cutterhead forward until the stone lies flat on the bevel of the knife as shown. Hold the cutterhead from turning, and whet the beveled edge of the knife, stroking lengthwise by sliding the stone back and forth across the table. Do the same amount of whetting on each of the three knives.
REMOVING DUST CHUTE COVER
The dust chute cover (A) Fig. 75, can be removed, for cleaning purposes, by removing the two wing screws
(B).
Make certain the machine is disconnected from the power source before removing the dust chute cover. The dust chute cover (A) must always be assembled to the dust chute during operation.

KEEP MACHINE CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
Wear certified safety equipment for eye, hearing and respiratory protection while using compressed air.
FAILURE TO START
Should your machine fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.
LUBRICATION & RUST PROTECTION
Apply household floor paste wax to the machine table, extension table or other work surface weekly. Or use a commercially available protective product designed for this purpose. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use and safety.
To clean cast iron tables of rust, you will need the following materials: a sheet of medium
