Cleaning

Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth.
This will prevent the moisture from wood dust
from remaining on bare metal surfaces. Treat all
unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining
lubricant after cleaning. We recommend products
like SLIPIT , G96 Gun Treatment, or Boeshield
® ®
T-9 (see Page 29 for more details).

V-belt removal and replacement is simply a mat-
ter of loosening the V-belts, rolling them off the
pulleys, replacing them with new belts, then reten-
sioning them.
The Model G0603X planer uses three V-belts to
drive the cutterhead, and one V-belt to drive the
feed rollers.
Always replace the three cutterhead V-belts with a
matched set of three belts. Otherwise uneven belt
tension may cause premature belt failure.
