MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Buildup of sawdust and other debris can cause your machine to plane and mould inaccurately. Periodic cleaning and waxing is not only recommended, but mandatory for accurate precision planing and moulding. 1) Close-fitting parts, such as gibs and the planer cutterhead slots should also be wiped with an oily cloth and freed from clinging foreign matter and then replaced in their respective positions, slightly dampened with oil. -
