MAINTENANCE

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model W1702 Shaper will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your shaper each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace parts when necessary.

1.Loose mounting bolts.

2.Worn switch.

3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4.Damaged drive belt.

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

Table and Base

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

Lubrication

Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.

For other items on this machine, an occasional application of light machine oil is all that is necessary. Before applying lubricant, clean off sawdust.

Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too much lubrication will attract dirt and sawdust. Various parts of your machine could lose their freedom of movement as a result.

UNPLUG the power cord before you do any assembly, adjustments, or maintenance tasks! Otherwise, serious personal injury to you or others may occur!

KEEP loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

WEAR your safety glasses and dust mask during any machine operation or maintenance. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.
