Cleaning.&.Protecting
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth.
If any resin has built up, use a resin-dissolving
cleaner to remove it.
Protect the unpainted cast-iron table by wiping
it clean after every use—this ensures moisture
from wood dust does not remain on bare metal
surfaces. Keep your table rust-free with regular
applications of quality lubricants.
Lubrication
This planer features bearings that are lubricated
and sealed at the factory. These bearing do not
require any further attention unless they need
to be replaced. If a bearing fails, your planer
will probably develop a noticeable rumble or
vibration, which will increase when the machine
is under a load. The bearings are standard
sizes and can be replaced through Woodstock
International.
Follow the maintenance schedule on this page
and the procedures beginning on
Page.39
to
properly lubricate the other planer components,
which are essential for long life and trouble-free
operation of your planer.
