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
•Vacuum all dust on and around the machine.
•Empty debris from the dust collection bag. DO NOT use the jointer if debis obstructs the flow of material into the bag. Using the jointer when the chute is obstructed can lead to jointer malfuction and, possibly, fire. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
•Wipe down tables and all other unpainted cast iron with a metal protectant.
Monthly Check
•Fence angle stops and cutterhead knife alignment.
•Belt tension, damage, or wear.
•Clean/vacuum dust from inside the cabinet and around the motor.
G0612 6" Jointer
Belts
Belts must be in good condition (free from cracks, fraying and wear), and correctly adjusted. Replacement belts can be ordered from Grizzly. The part number for the cutterhead drive belt is P0612070. The part number for the fan belt is P0612092.
Cleaning
Cleaning the Model G0612 is easy and should be done often. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust away with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it.
Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the table by wiping the table clean after every use— this will help prevent moisture from wood dust accumulating on bare metal surfaces.
Keep tables
Lubrication
All bearings are sealed and permanently lubri- cated. Do not lubricate them; leave them alone until they need to be replaced.
