C. Maintenance
Every eight (8) hours of operation
Open the end access covers using the 1/8” hex wrench provided, and using compressed air, blow
through the area below the machine to remove cuttings, which may have escaped the dust collection
system.
Spray the end trim guillotines with WD-40 or equivalent to reduce glue and particle build-up.
Raise power feeder and while it is operating, hold a damp cloth to the bottom of the belt, to remove
build-up that may affect belt traction and feed consistency.
WARNING: Use caution when doing
this and keep hands away from trim bits and end cutters that may be inadvertently turned on. A
safe way to avoid accidentally turning routers on while cleaning belt, is to switch the manual
switches situated on the routers, to the “OFF” position.
Periodically, the four (4) blue slide strips mounted on the tabletop should be cleaned and lubricated
with WD-40 or an antifriction spray such as “Top Cote”.
(Once a month)
With the locating shoulder screw removed, lift the power feeder to its highest position and apply a
light
coat of high quality grease to the feeder support post.
