MAINTENANCE (Cont)
CAUTION!
With the machine unplugged, blow off motor with low pressure air to remove dust
or dirt. Air pressure above 50 P.S.I. should not be used as high-pressured air may damage
insulation. The operator should always wear a respirator and eye protection when using
compressed air. Do not allow chips and dust to accumulate under the machine. Keep area clean
and in safe order.
Having clean feed rollers is essential for optimal results. Check feed rollers after each use for
buildup of pitch, gum, or resin, and be sure to clean off with a non-flammable tar and pitch
remover that is not harmful to rubberized surfaces.
Periodically clean, wax, and buff the tables. This will aid in the prevention of improper feeding of
the workpiece.
HARDWARE TIGHTNESS
Periodically check all clamps, nuts, bolts, and screws, for tightness and condition. Stop the
machine and recheck the cutterhead screw and knives, or tips, for tightness after about 50 hours
of operation. Recheck periodically.
GEAR LUBRICATION
The gears in the gear box should be lubricated periodically.
