SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
Schedule
For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Ongoing
To minimize your risk of injury and maintain proper
machine operation, shut down the machine imme-
diately if you ever observe any of the items below,
and fix the problem before continuing operations:
•
Loose mounting bolts.
•
Damaged cutterhead knives/inserts.
•
Worn or damaged wires.
•
Any other unsafe condition.
Monthly Check
•
Fence positive stop accuracy.
•
Belt tension, damage, or wear.
•
Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside base
and off motor.
Cleaning & Protecting
Cleaning the jointer is relatively easy. Vacuum
excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the
remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has
built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it.
Protect the unpainted cast aluminum table by wip-
ing it clean after every use—this ensures moisture
from wood dust does not remain on bare metal
surfaces. Keep your table rust-free with regular
applications of quality lubricants. Wax and buff
table surface to help prevent improper feeding of
workpiece.

Lubrication
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
It is essential to clean components before lubri-
cating them because dust and chips build up on
lubricated components and make them hard to
move. Simply adding more grease to them will not
yield smooth-moving components.
