Lubrication
1.
Use a good grade of light grease on the steel adjusting screws located in the raising
and lowering mechanisms of the work tables.
2.
Occasionally,
apply
a
few
drops
of
light machine oil
to
the gibs, which permits
the
tables to slide freely.
3.
T he Cutterhead ball bearings are lubricated at the factory and need no further care.
Blade Care
When
gum and
pitch collect
on
the Blades, carefully
remove with
a
strong
solvent.
Failure
to remove gum and pitch buildup may result in excessive friction and cause overheating.
When Blades become dull it will be necessary to resharpen them by a qualified technician.
This is done by lowering the lnfeed Table and placing an oilstone (partially covered with
paper) on the lnfeed Table and extending over the Blades. The oilstone is slid left to right
over the Blades.
