ACCESSORIES

KEEP MACHINE CLEAN

Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed
air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp
cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could
possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.

Wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses while
using compressed air.

FAILURE TO START

Should your machine fail to start, check to make sure the
prongs on the cord plug are making good contact in the
outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers
in the line.

LUBRICATION

Apply household floor paste wax to the 

machine

table and

extension table or other work surface weekly.

need the following materials: 1 pushblock from a jointer,
1 sheet of medium Scotch-Brite™ Blending Hand Pad, 1

®

, 1 can of degreaser, 1 can of TopCote
