All tools and machines require regular maintenance and the raised panel master
is no exception. This section details the general maintenance and care of your
machine. In general we recommend that you only use a Te on based lubricant
on the machine. Regular oil attracts dust and dirt and the Te on tends to dry and
has fewer tendencies to accumulate dirt and saw dust on your machine.
FITTING AND ADJUSTING THE DRIVE BELT
1. Disconnect the electrical power and air supply from the machine.
2. Loosen the motor adjusting screw.
3. Remove the old belt and replace with the new belt.
4. Re-tension the belt with the motor adjusting screw.
WEEKLY MAINTANINCE
1. Check all nuts and bolts are tight
2. Clean the machine and check that the dust hose is clear. Make sure that all
moving parts are clean and free from saw dust and dirt.
3. Lubricate all moving parts with a Te on based lubricant.
4. Wax the table and all none painted parts.
5. Check the drive belt for damage, oil, dirt and cracks.
6. Check that the breaking system on the motor stops the electrical motor in less
than 10 seconds.
Note. You can only function the break a maximum of 10 times per hour.
DRIVE BELT
The drive belt should last for many
years [depending on the usage] but
need to be inspected regularly for
cracks, cuts and general wear. If
damage is found replace the belt.
BEARINGS
All bearings are sealed for life and
do not require any maintenance. If
a bearing becomes faulty replace
it.
