Page 21: Maintenance
OPERATIONS(Cont) THICKNESS PLANING Thickness planing sizes the workpiece to a desired thickness, while at the same time creating a smooth and level surface. The thickness of each cut will depend on the type of wood, width of the workpiece, and condition of the lumber (i.e. dryness, grain composition, straightness, etc). Always make thin test cuts on a scrap piece of wood prior to performing final cuts. - Page 22 MAINTENANCE (Cont) CAUTION! With the machine unplugged, blow off motor with low pressure air to remove dust or dirt. Air pressure above 50 P.S.I. should not be used as high-pressured air may damage insulation. The operator should always wear a respirator and eye protection when using compressed air.
- Page 23 MAINTENANCE (Cont) Place a light coat of multi-purpose grease on the teeth of the gears (A) and a light coat of spray lubricant on the chain (B). Do not over-lubricate and replace the side panel. SEE FIG 11. FIG 11 Replace all covers, panels and guards, that you removed once lubrication is complete.
- Page 24 MAINTENANCE (Cont) Once the brush has been removed, inspect the carbon (B), the spring (C), and the wire (D). SEE FIG 13. FIG 13 If the carbon of either brush is worn down to 3/16” or less, both brushes should be replaced. Also if the spring or wire are burned or damaged in any way, both brushes should be replaced.
