Schedule
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
Cleaning the Model G0826 is relatively easy.
Frequently blow off sawdust with compressed air.
This is especially important for internal working
parts and the motor. Dust build-up around the
motor will decrease its lifespan. If rollers become
loaded up with pitch, oil, or other residues, wipe
with a clean rag and soap and water. Keep min-
eral spirits away from plastic parts or painted sur-
faces to avoid damage.
Other than the lubrication points covered in this
section, all other bearings are internally lubricated
and sealed at the factory. Simply leave them
alone unless they need to be replaced.
Before performing any lubrication task,
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
Important: Before adding lubricant, clean any
debris and grime from fill hole/grease fitting and
immediate area to prevent contamination of new
lubricant.
Use the schedule below and the following instruc-
tions to properly lubricate the other components
that require lubrication.
