Maintenance
WARNING!
Disconnect the machine from power source
before proceeding with any maintenance,
lubrication or assembly! Failure to comply
may cause serious injury!
Periodic, or regular inspections are
required to ensure that the machine is in
proper adjustment, and that all hardware is
tight.
Clean out-feed rollers and table with a non-
flammable solvent to remove pitch, gum
and other unwanted build-up.
Periodically clean the inside of the machine
for dust control.
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.
Lubrication
Add a few drops of medium weight oil to
the six oil cups (A, Figure 25) weekly.
Lubricate the two table elevation screws (B,
Figure 26) as needed. Raise the table and
remove the two screws holding the top of
the accordion cover (C, Figure 26) in place.
Pull the cover down and lightly grease the
elevating screws, see Figure 26.
Use an oiled cloth to wipe the ways (D, Figure 26)
weekly.
Lubricate the chain system with an oiled cloth as
needed.
The gear box oil should be changed once a year.
Remove the drain plug (E, Figure 27) to drain the oil.
Refill the gear box with 60-90 weight gear oil through
the fill hole (F, Figure 27) until the sight glass reads
full. The sight glass (G, Figure 27) should be
checked periodically and oil added as necessary.
