MARK V – MOUNTED OVERARM PIN ROUTER

555970

MAINTENANCE

The maintenance intervals listed here are based on normal operation and assume that you will be careful not to abuse your Over- arm Router. Obviously, if you work the unit unusually hard, you’ll need to maintain it more often. If an unusual noise or vibration develops, turn off the motor immediately and check to see what could be causing the problem. Do not operate the routing system again until you have corrected the cause of the unusual noise or vibration.

As needed: Have your router Bits sharp- ened.

Every 5 hours of running time: Clean the Overarm Router thoroughly. Check align- ments and adjustments. Check tightness of all critical hardware.

Every 6 months or as needed: Clean and wax the Overarm Router

To estimate running times, use this rule:

The average woodworker will use power tools only 10 percent of the total time spent in the shop, at the most. You may not use your Overarm Router as much as other power tools. If you work in your shop for 25 hours, you’ve probably logged less than an hour of running time on your Overarm Router.
