Woodstock W1683 instruction manual Maintenance, Cleaning, General, Table And Base

MAINTENANCE

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance or repairs. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Inspect your planer for loose nuts and bolts. Make sure that all tools are cleared away from the machine.

Cleaning

Frequently blow-off dust with compressed air. This is especially important for the internal working parts and motor. Dust build-up around the motor is a sure way to decrease its life span.

Occasionally it will become necessary to clean the internal parts with more than compressed air. To do this, remove the covers and clean the internal parts with a citrus cleaner or mineral spirits and a stiff wire brush or steel wool. DO NOT USE WATER—WATER WILL RUST CAST IRON. Make sure the internal workings are dry before using the planer again. If any essential lubrication is removed during cleaning, relubricate those areas.

General
