GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Jointer/planer will operate best if it is kept in good operating con-
dition. Keep unit adjusted as described in “Operation.”
•
Do not allow gum and pitch to accumulate on the tables, fence,
blades and blade guard.
•
Apply a thin coat of paste type wax to the tables and the fence
so that the wood slides easily while feeding.
•
Keep blades sharp (see “Sharpening Blades”, page 9). Sometimes
replacing blades is less expensive than resurfacing them.
Keeping a spare set of blades on hand is recommended. Blades
should always be sharpened or replaced in sets of two.
LUBRICATION
WARNING:
Make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the
tool is disconnected from the power source.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, penetrat-
ing oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemi-
cals that can damage and/or destroy plastics.
•
Motor and cutterhead bearings are sealed and need no
lubrication.
•
Fence, fence bracket and elevation screws should be cleaned of
debris and greased as needed.
MACHINED SURFACES
•
Surface of tables and fence must be kept smooth and clean for
easy work feed.
•
Apply a paste wax to surfaces to keep them slick and prevent
corrosion.
