Maintenance & Troubleshooting
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THIS MACHINE USING REQUIRED ROUTINE UPKEEP,
SAFEGUARDING & PREVENTIVE MEASURES WILL VOID WARRANTY.
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 planer. Regular oil attracts dust and
dirt. Teflon lubricant tends to dry and has less of a tendency to accumulate dirt and sawdust.
Periodically check that all nuts and bolts are tight.
Routine Inspections:
It is a good idea to routinely inspect any quality woodworking tool 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 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 or rotate worn knives.
•
There is one limit switch on the planer that triggers if the hood is opened. Keep it clean and blown out with an air
hose.
