Regular periodic maintenance on your Model

ditions and repair or replace when necessary.
1. Loose mounting bolts.
2. Worn switch.

4. Damaged V-belt.
5.
Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.

Lubrication

The only parts on this machine that require peri-
odic lubrication are the ways where the cartridge
slide rides on the elevation housing and where the
worm gear and bushing are located. Use a light
grease or anti-seizing compound on the ways
and worm gear and give the shaft mount a shot
of light oil. The frequency of lubrication depends
on the amount you use the shaper. As a habit,
inspect the machine at least once a month.

Table
The table and other non-painted surfaces on the
Model G1026 should be protected against rust
and pitting. Wiping the table clean after every use
ensures that wood dust isn't allowed to trap mois-
ture against bare metal surfaces.
Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applica-
tions of products like Boeshield
term storage you may want to consider products
like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.

V-Belt

Avoid getting grease or oil on the V-belt or pul-
leys.
Check the V-belt, as part of your monthly inspec-
tion, for proper tension and belt condition. Cracking
and glazing could result in belt failure. Replace
the belt if such conditions appear.
