MAINTENANCE
Maintenance on your planer should be done at periodic intervals to ensure that the machine is
in good working order. Inspection and maintenance should be performed at least twice a year
but more often if the lathe receives constant use.

Check daily for any unsafe conditions and fix immediately.

Check that all nuts and bolts are properly tightened.

On a weekly basis clean the machine and the area around it.

Lubricate threaded components and sliding devices.

Apply rust inhibitive lubricant to all non-painted surfaces.
Note : Proper maintenance can increase the life expectancy of your machine.

Check all fasteners to make sure they are tight and check all adjustments that they are in
order.

Clean and oil the tables so that the material will slide easily. Clean any rust spots that may
develop on the bed with a commercial rust remover.

Use compressed air to blow out the interior of the machine in order to keep chips and
sawdust from accumulating on the belts and pulleys.

Check the drive belt for tightness. It should be snug but not overly tight.

Use a mill file to remove any nicks or dings from the infeed or outfeed tables.
WARNING:
Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on
the machine.
Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel.
Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery.
