SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

Maintenance Safety

Your safety is important! Please follow the warnings below during this entire section:

Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any maintenance, assembly or adjust- ments. Failure to do this may result in serious per- sonal injury.

Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing rolled up and long hair tied up and away from machinery.

Projectiles from the machine could cause serious eye injury. Wear safety glasses at all times.

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your Ultimate Series Jointers will ensure optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it.

Before each use, perform the following checks:

1.Loose mounting bolts.

2.Worn switch.

3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4.Damaged V-belt.

5.Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

Table

The table and other non-painted surfaces on your machine should be protected against rust and pit- ting. Wiping the table clean after every use ensures that moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applica- tions of products like SLIPIT® or Boeshield® T-9. For long term storage you may want to consider products like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.
