As with any machine, to ensure optimal performance, you must conduct regular
maintenance.
Daily Checks
1
. Clean the machine and lubricate unpainted surfaces
with a Teflon lubricant. Wipe off any excess and buff with
a dry polishing cloth. This will reduce the lieklihood of
rust forming.
2
. Check cutter teeth for chips and dullness.
3
. Generally inspect the machine for damage and loose
or worn parts.
4
. Collets and Spindle collet hole must be cleaned regularly.
Ensure that the slots in the collets are free of sawdust as
sawdust builds up and will stop the collet compressing. If
the collet or spindle hole are not clean, the router bit may
not run true, and this will affect the performance of your
machine.
