Maintenance.

As with any machine, to ensure optimal performance, you must conduct regular
maintenance.

Daily checks.

1. Clean the machine and lubricate unpainted surfaces with a Teflon-based
lubricant. Wipe off any excess and buff with a dry polishing cloth. This will reduce
the likelihood of rust forming and reduce the friction on the tables as the wood is
machined.
2. Check cutter blades for chips and dullness.
3. Generally inspect the machine for damage and loose or warn parts.
