Feed Roller Maintenance
The feed rollers are made of a rubber material
and should be inspected after every hour of
operation:
1. Unplug the machine from the power
source.
2. Move the cutterhead to the top of the
planer.
3. Inspect both the infeed and the outfeed
rollers for sawdust and wood chips. Rotate
the rollers by turning the cutterhead belt.
Due to the gear reduction on the rollers the
cutterhead must be rotated a significant
amount.
You can remove the right side
panel to make the rotating of the cutterhead
belt easier.
4. To remove sawdust or wood chips, first use
a soft brush. If chips or dust remain, use a
soft cloth with a mild cleaner. Do not touch
the rollers with sharp or abrasive objects.
Lubrication
WARNING
Unplug the planer from the power source
before attempting any lubrication!
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
To access the following lubrication points,
remove the elevating hand wheel assembly and
the top and side cover assembly.
Leadscrews - (B, Fig. 18) Apply a light coat
of #2 lithium tube grease along the entire
length of both leadscrews.
Columns - (C, Fig. 18) Apply a light coat of
#2 lithium tube grease to all four columns,
upon which the cutterhead slides up and
down. Wipe away excess grease.
Feed Rollers - Carefully place the planer on
its side and apply a drop of 30W machine
tool oil to each of the four feed roller
brackets
(#33
in
breakdown). Wipe away any excess.
Drive Chain - Apply a light coat of 30W
machine tool oil to the drive chain. Keep
the chain clean of dust, dirt, and wood
shavings.
Do not over lubricate.
