Since all bearings on the Model SB1118 are
sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave
them alone until they need to be replaced. DO
NOT lubricate them.
Follow the maintenance schedule on Page 38
and the procedures outlined below to properly
lubricate the planer components, which are
essential for long life and trouble-free operation
of your planer.
Lubrication
Failure to follow reasonable lubrication
practices as instructed in this manual for your
machine could lead to premature failure of
components and void the warranty.
The infeed and outfeed rollers rotate inside
bearing blocks on both ends of the rollers. Add
2–3 drops of ISO 68 machine oil to the oil cups
on each side of the head casting, as shown in
Figure 41.

The table rides on two leadscrews that are
protected by dust boots. Raise the table all the
way up, and loosen the dust boots to access the
leadscrews (see Figure 42). Use shop rags and
mineral spirits to clean away any debris and
grime, then brush a light coat of multi-purpose
grease onto the leadscrew threads. Move the
table up and down to distribute the grease.
