MAINTENANCE
The machine is maintenance free except for
periodically cleaning away any dust
accumulation and the application a light coat of
oil to all non- painted surfaces, particularly the
two columns.
All of the bearings are packed with grease at the
factory and require no further lubrication.
SHARPENING THE DRILL BIT & CHISEL
For best performance the chisel and bit need to
be kept sharp. Blunt cutting edges will give untidy
and inaccurate mortices, and can cause
overheating and breaking of the chisel and bit.
Sharpen the bit by using a small smooth file,
following the original shape of the bit. File the
inside edge of the spur, the sides of the brad
point, and the cutting edge inwards towards the
flutes of the bit to restore sharpness. Do not file
the outside edge of the spur as this will affect the
diameter of the bit.
Use a mortice chisel cutter with the correct size
pilot to sharpen the chisel. Two or three turns of
the cutter in a carpenters hand brace should be
enough to sharpen the chisel. Remove any burrs
from the outside of the chisel with a fine oil-stone.
Chisels and bits will need replacing when they
become badly worn and difficult to sharpen.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN OFF POWER AND DISCONNECT
TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.
