MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
The recommended lubrication for roller chains
used in medium to low operation is to simply wipe
the chain clean. When there is an excess build up
of dust or wood shavings etc., coat chain with a
light lm of oil but never pour the oil directly on the
chain. Over -oiling tends to hasten the collection
of dust and woodshavings and works them into
members of the chain leading to increased wear
and premature replacement. This applies to the
speed reduction and height adjustment chains as
well as the elevation screws.
The bearings on the cutterhead are factory lubricated
and sealed. They require no further attention.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Build-up of sawdust and other debris can cause
your machine to plane inaccurately. Periodic
cleaning is mandatory for precision planing and
highly recommended.
Close tting parts, such as the lockbars and the
planer cutterhead slots, should be cleaned with
a brush; removing clinging foreign matter. Then
replace all parts in their respective positions
slightly dampened with oil.
Remove resin and other accumulations from feed
rollers and table with a non-amable solvent.
