Blade Care
•
The condition of the blades will affect the precision of the cut. Observe the quality of the cut
that the planer produces to check the condition of the blades.
•
Dull blades will tear, rather than cut the wood fibers and produce a fuzzy appearance.
•
Raised grain will occur when dull blades pound on wood that has varying density. A raised
edge will also be produced where the blades have been nicked. When gum and pitch collect
on the blades, carefully remove with a strong solvent. Failure to remove gum and pitch build
up may result in excessive friction, blade wear and overheating. When blades become dull,
rotate or replace the blades.
Lubrication
•
Use a good grade of light grease on the steel adjusting screws located in the raising and
lowering mechanisms of the work tables.
•
The cutterhead ball bearings are lifetime lubricated and need no further care.
WARNING:
Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on
the machine.
Blades are extremely sharp! Use caution when cleaning or changing. Failure to
comply may cause serious injury!
