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:

•Clean unpainted cast iron part of table

•Lubricate feed rollers

Weekly Maintenance:

•Clean cutterhead

•Lubricate four columns

Monthly Check:

•Inspect V-belt tension, damage, or wear

•Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabi- net and off motor

•Lubricate worm gear

•Lubricate chain

•Lubricate drive chain

Yearly:

•Change gear box oil (should be performed after the first 20 hours when planer is new).

Cleaning

Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning. We recommend products like SLIPIT®, G96® Gun Treatment, or Boeshield® T-9 (see Page 21 for more details).

V-Belts

V-belt removal and replacement is simply a mat- ter of loosening the V-belts, rolling them off of the pulleys, replacing them with new belts, then retensioning them.

Always replace V-belts with a matched set of 3 belts, or belt tension may not be even among the 3 belts and may cause premature belt failure.

Consider replacing stock belts with Power Twist V-belts (see Page 21) to reduce vibration and noise, and increase belt lifespan.

To adjust/replace belts the V-belts:

1.DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE POWER SOURCE!

2.Open the motor access panel and V-belt cover.

3.Using a 19mm wrench, loosen the fasteners on the tension rods shown in Figure 23.
