lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
The following is a list of features and parts
that need lubrication:
Columns—
The four columns should be lubricat-
ed with light machine oil once a week. See
Figure 24

Chain
—The table height adjustment chain
should be inspected monthly and lubricated with
general purpose grease when needed
Feed Roller Chain and Gears
—The drive chain
should be inspected and lubricated monthly. Use
a general purpose grease. Check the sprocket,
the chain and the cotter pin during inspection.
Some chains will have master links instead of cot-
ter pins.
Build up of sawdust and other debris can cause
your machine to plane and mould inaccurately.
The following should be cleaned regularly:
1.
Disconnect the machine from the power
source!
2.
Vacuum or wipe sawdust and debris from the
machine after each use.
3.
Wipe down feed rollers after each use.
4.
Remove accumulations of resin from the
knives, rollers and bed with a non-flammable
solvent such as a saw blade cleaner.
