Maintenance
Lubrication
You must regularly (minimum every 12 hours) lubricate the rails. Use a thin layer of
30wt oil lubricant. Spray daily and wipe off the excess.
Daily checks
1. Clean the machine and lubricate unpainted surfaces with a
30wt oil lubricant. Wipe off any excess and buff with a dry
polishing cloth. This will reduce the likelihood 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 holes 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 holes are not clean, the router bit may not run
true, and this will affect the performance of your machine.
Weekly checks
1. Clean the cutters.
2. Check cutter teeth for chips and dullness.
3. Generally inspect the machine for damage and loose or worn parts.
4. Check the dust extraction for blockages, as any large bits could cause blockages.
5. Replace the water every week.
6. Rotate the water pipes every week. (Inlet to out let and reverse for the other pipe.
This will clean out any dirt or other debris that is accumulating inside the cooling
system.)
7. Check that all the electrical connectors are fitted correctly and are not loose.
8. Check that all the motor couplers are connected and that the screws are tight.
