Maintenance
General
Keep your machine clean. At the end of each day, clean the machine. Wood contains moisture, and if
sawdust or wood chips are not removed they will cause rust.
In general, we recommend that you only use a Teflon-based lubricant on the jointer. Regular oil attracts
dust and dirt. Teflon lubricant tends to dry and has less of a tendency to accumulate dirt and saw dust.
Periodically check that all nuts and bolts are tight.
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 likely hood of rust forming and reduce the friction on
the tables as the wood is machined.
2. Check knife inserts for nicks and sharpness.
3. Generally inspect the machine for damage and loose or worn parts.
Weekly checks
1. Clean the cutter head. Do not touch knife inserts!
2. Check knife inserts for nicks and sharpness.
3. Generally inspect the machine for damage and loose or worn parts.
4. Check the dust extraction for blockages and any large pieces that could cause blockages.
Monthly checks
1. Check the drive belt for wear, splits and cuts.
2. Clean the motor compartment and the motor to ensure that the motor cooling fins work efficiently.
3. Generally inspect the machine for damage and loose or worn parts. NOTICE! It is recommended that
you use a Teflon based lubricant.
Routine Inspections
It is a good idea to routinely inspect any quality woodworking tool in order to keep it in optimum condition.
This includes inspecting all hardware for tightness, ensuring the filter is clean, and cleaning debris and
grime from any surfaces and moving parts. In addition, make sure to:
·
Clean out-feed rollers and table with a non- flammable solvent to remove pitch, gum and other
unwanted build-up.
·
Periodically clean the inside of the machine for dust control.
·
Keep pulleys and belts free from dirt, dust, oil and grease.
·
Replace worn belts as needed.
·
Replace worn knives or sharpen.
