Installing a bed board.
Certain operations require that
the cutter cuts through the job.
This will require that you make
and fit a board to the table of the
machine. Four holes are provided
in the table to attach a board.
The dimensions of the board are
not important, but it is suggested
that the board is 12 3/8" wide x
Board fixing holes
31 1/4" long and a minimum of
1/4" thick (depending on the amount you want to cut through the job).
You will need four 3/8" x 1" countersunk screws to attach the board to the table.
(Screws not supplied.)
Note. The screws must be sub flush.
Note. To reduce friction, it is suggested that the board is waxed after assembly.
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.
Weekly checks.
1. Clean the cutter head.
2. Check cutter blades for chips and dullness.
3. Generally inspect the machine for damage and loose or worn parts.
4. Check the dust extraction for blockages and any large bits that could cause
blockages.
Monthly checks.
1. Check the motor drive belts for wear, splits and cuts.
2. Clean the motor compartment and the motor to ensure that the motor cooling fins
work efficiently.
3. Clean and lubricate the drive chains and cogs.
4. Generally inspect the machine for damage and loose or worn parts.
Note. It is recommended that you use a Teflon-based lubricant.
Drive belt replacement.
