MAINTENANCE
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.
PROTECTING CAST IRON FROM RUST
To clean and protect cast iron tables from rust, you will need the following materials: 1 pushblock from a jointer, 1 sheet
of medium Scotch-Brite™ Blending Hand Pad, 1 can of WD-40
®
, 1 can of degreaser, 1 can of TopCote
®
Aerosol. Apply
the WD-40 and polish the table surface with the Scotch-Brite pad using the pushblock as a holddown. Degrease the
table, then apply the TopCote
®
accordingly.
