SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.

Daily Check

• Vacuum all dust on and around the
machine.
• Empty debris from the dust collection bag.
DO NOT use the jointer if debris obstructs the
flow of material into the bag. Using the jointer
when the chute is obstructed can lead to
jointer malfunction and, possibly, fire. Failure
to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
• Wipe down tables and all other unpainted
cast iron with a metal protectant.

Monthly Check

• Cutterhead knife alignment and fence angle
stops (see Page 17 and Page 23).
Belt tension, damage, or wear (see Page
•
36).
• Clean/vacuum dust from inside the cabinet
and around the motor.

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model G0725 is easy and should be
done often. Vacuum excess wood chips and saw-
dust, and wipe off the remaining dust away with
a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin
dissolving cleaner to remove it.
Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the
table by wiping the table clean after every use—
this will help prevent moisture from wood dust
accumulating on bare metal surfaces.
Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of
products like G96 Gun Treatment, SLIPIT
®
T-9 (see Figure 44).
