MAINTENANCE
Maintenance on your planer should be done at periodic intervals to ensure that the machine is
in good working order. Inspection and maintenance should be performed at least twice a year
but more often if the lathe receives constant use.
Check daily for any unsafe conditions and fix immediately.
Check that all nuts and bolts are properly tightened.
On a weekly basis clean the machine and the area around it.
Lubricate threaded components and sliding devices.
Apply rust inhibitive lubricant to all non-painted surfaces.
Note: Proper maintenance can increase the life expectancy of your machine.
Check all fasteners to make sure they are tight and check all adjustments that they are in
order.
Clean and oil the tables so that the material will slide easily. Clean any rust spots that may
develop on the bed with a commercial rust remover.
Use compressed air to blow out the interior of the machine in order to keep chips and
sawdust from accumulating on the belts and pulleys.
Check the drive belt for tightness. It should be snug but not overly tight.
Use a mill file to remove any nicks or dings from the infeed or outfeed tables.
Clean out-feed rollers and table with a nonflammable solvent to remove pitch, gum and
other unwanted build-up.
Keep pulleys and belts free from dirt, dust, oil and grease. Replace worn V-belts as
needed.
There are three limit switches on the planer, one that triggers if the hood is open, and a
raising and a lowering limit switch to prevent the table from automatically traveling too far.
Keep these clean and blown out with an air hose.
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.
