LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
Daily Maintenance
•
Do a general cleaning by removing dust and chips from the machine.
•
Check and tighten any loose mounting bolts.
•
Sharpen or replace any worn or damaged tooling.
•
Inspect the power plug and cord.
•
Keep area around machine clear of debris.
•
Check for any unsafe conditions and fix immediately.
•
Check that all nuts and bolts are properly tightened.
Cleaning
Sawdust buildup and other debris can cause the machine to plane incorrectly. Periodic cleaning
and waxing is needed for accurate precision planning. Any moving parts should be cleaned
regularly with penetrating oil and lubricated with a light coating of medium weight machine oil.
With the machine unplugged, blow off motor with low pressure air to remove dust or dirt. Air
pressure above 50 P.S.I. should not be used as high-pressured air may damage insulation. The
operator should always wear a respirator and eye protection when using compressed air. Do not
allow chips and dust to accumulate under the machine. Keep area clean and in safe order.
Note: When cleaning chips and debris from the machine, use a brush and a shop
vacuum. DO NOT blow off the machine with compressed air. The force of the compressed air
may force chips into critical mechanisms or may inflict injury to yourself or others.
Periodically clean, wax, and buff the tables. This will aid in the prevention of improper feeding of
the work piece.
Hardware Tightness
Periodically check all clamps, nuts, bolts, and screws, for tightness and condition. Stop the
machine and recheck the cutterhead screw and knives, or tips, for tightness after about 50
hours of operation.
WARNING:
Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on
the machine.
Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel.
Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery.
