Maintenance
Your
BOARD BUDDIES
®
are engineered for
dependable service and ease of operation.
However with most shop tools, they may
need periodic inspection and cleaning.
• NEVER lubricate Board Buddy parts. Oil will
attract sawdust and foreign material which
could jam the mechanism or stain your
workpiece.
• ALWAYS make sure the jam nuts (5) and
the position locking thumbscrews (11) are
tight, and the
BOARD BUDDIES
adjusted.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common solutions for Board
Buddy problems:
The Board Buddy does not clamp down on the
stock as it should, the pivot arm binds, or the
roller tension does not adjust correctly.
1. Refer to the Safety and Operation section
and re-adjust the Board Buddy correctly.
2. Remove and clean the threads of the
adjusting screws and thumbscrews.
Replace any stripped adjustment
screws and re-adjust.
3. Depress the pivot arm (1) and remove the
shoe (7). Clean out any foreign material
that is preventing the shoe from sliding
inside the housing (2). See Figure 4.
4. Replace the shoe if it is broken or worn.
The Board Buddy roller does not lock rotation.
1. Incorrect roller, replace the roller with the
correct roller.
2. The roller is broken. Replace the roller with
a new one. DO NOT rebuild the rollers.
Use Figure 4 and the parts list to inventory
your package. Your new
are carefully packed. However, if any part is
damaged or missing, contact Woodstock

Introduction

are made from die-cast aluminum
BOARD BUDDIES
15
and feature non-marring yellow neoprene rubber
wheels. Because the wheels turn clockwise only,
they function as
devices. You can mount these to fences that are 3"
1
(76.2mm) to 1
⁄
" (38.1mm) high x 1" (25.4mm) or
2
wider. Each Board Buddy consists of a mounting
bracket, a main body, and a roller. The main body
has a pivot arm which accepts the roller, a housing
11
which contains the pivot point and a roller pressure
spring. See Figure 1.
Read and understand your machine operators
manual, and know the machine limitations.
NO ANTI-KICKBACK DEVICE WILL MAKE
YOUR MACHINE COMPLETELY SAFE!
