THE GIBS (DOVETAIL SLIDES)
The gibs require adjustment if too loose. To adjust, loosen the
lock nuts and adjust the adjustor screws evenly while moving the
handle up and down. Adjust so that there is no free play, without any
binding anywhere in its range of travel. Then retighten the lock nuts.
Periodically check, lubricate, and adjust as needed.
MAINTENANCE
1.
Keep the machine clean and free of chips.
2.
Check for loose fittings and tighten as needed.
3.
Ensure that the ventilation slots are clear so that motor can be cooled normally. Blow low-
pressure compressed air through the ventilation slots with the motor running to keep motor
clean.
WARNING: Always wear eye protection when using compressed air.
THE CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes are a normal wearing part and must be replaced when they reach their
wear limit.
Caution: Always replace the brushes as a pair.
To replace:
1.
Remove the 2 screws and remove the motor tail cover.
2.
Using pliers rotate the brush spring out of the way and slide
the old carbon brush out of the brush holder.
3.
Unscrew the screw to remove the brush lead. The old
carbon brush may now be lifted away.
4.
Install a new brush. Installation is the reverse of removal.
5.
Replace the motor tail cover.
CARBON BRUSHES
Due to the brush design, if the machine comes to a stop
without any reason, the brushes have to be checked. The
brush design stops the machine before the carbon brushes
are finished and protects the motor.
If the replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or their agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
