Maintenance and Lubrication

Maintenance

Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the tables, the fence,
the cutter guard, the cutterhead or the knives. Clean
them with an appropriate solvent.
Apply a thin coat of paste type wax to the tables and the
fence so that the wood slides easily while feeding. This
also deters rusting.
Do not allow chips to accumulate on the underside of the
jointer/planer.
If power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately.

Lubrication

WARNING: Unplug the jointer/planer. Unit could
start suddenly. You could be badly hurt.
The ball bearings in this machine are packed with grease
at the factory. They required no further lubrication.
Disassembly of the motor should only be done by an
Authorized Service Center. Disregarding this may void
your tools warranty.
NOTE: The speed of this motor cannot be regulated or
changed.
Motors used on woodworking tools are particularly sus-
ceptible to the accumulation of sawdust and wood chips
and should be blown out or "vacuumed" frequently to pre-
vent interference with normal motor ventilation.
The following parts should be oiled occasionally with
SAE No. 20 or No. 30 engine oil.
1. Dovetail spacer and dovetail slide.
2. Elevation screw (first clean if necessary).
