ous personal injury.

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model
H2801 4" Jointer ensures its optimum perfor-
mance. Make a habit of inspecting your jointer
each time you use it.
Check for the following conditions and repair or
replace when necessary.
1. Loose mounting bolts.
2.
Worn switch.
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4. Damaged V-belt.
5. Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.

Table

The table and other non-painted surfaces on the
Model H2801 should be protected against rust
and pitting. Wiping the table clean after every use
ensures that wood dust isn't allowed to trap mois-
ture against bare metal surfaces.
Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applica-
tions of products like Boeshield
term storage you may want to consider products
like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.

Lubrication

Since all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
Table ways and the fence assembly should not
be lubricated. If the tables appear to be stuck, dis-
assemble and clean any foreign materials from
the ways.

V-Belt

Avoid getting grease or oil on the V-belts or pul-
leys. Check the V-belts, as part of a monthly
inspection for proper tension and belt condition.
Cracking and glazing could result in belt failure.
Replace the belt if such conditions appear.

Sharpening Knives

The cutterhead knives can be individually honed
with a fine sharpening stone. Make sure the oil-
stone is flat and you have the experience and
equipment to properly sharpen knives. Even the
slightest nick or uneven honing can result in poor
quality cutting during operation.
Consider taking your knives to a professional
sharpener. This will guarantee that you get good
results. Often the costs of getting your knives
sharpened by a professional will offset any costs
related to sharpening problems (i.e. ruined
stock).
