CLEANING
LUBRICATION
The jointer has sealed lubricated bearings in the motor
housing that do not require any additional lubrication
from the operator.
ROTATATING / CHANGING CUTTERS
The 6" cutterhead is equipped with 2 indexable carbide
cutters; Each cutter can be rotated to reveal many one
of its four cutting edges. Therefore, if one cutting edge
becomes dull or damaged, simply rotate it 90 to reveal a
fresh cutting edge(Fig. 18 ).
In addition ., each cutter has a reference dot on one
corner. As the cutter is rotated , the reference dot
location can be used as an indicator of which edges are
used and which are new. When the reference dot
mrevolves back around to its starting position, the cutter
should be replaced.
To rotate or change a carbide cutter:
1. DISCONNECT THE JOINTER FROM THE POWER
SOURCE!
2. Remove any sawdust from the head of the carbide
cutter Torx screw.
3. Remove the Torx screw and carbide cutter.
4. Clean all dust and dirt off the cutter and the
cutterhead pocket from which the cutter was
removed, and replace the cutter so a fresh, sharp
edge is facing outward.
NOTE: Proper cleaning is critical to achieving a smooth
finish. Dirt or dust trapped between the cutter and
cutterhead will slightly raise the cutter, and make a
noticeable marks on your work-pieces the next time you
plane.
5. Lubricate the Torx screw threads with a light machine
oil, wipe the excess oil off the threads, and torque the
Torx screw to 48-50 inch/ pounds.
MAINTAINENCE
Repairs to the jointer should be performed by trained
personnel only. Contact your nearest Steel City Dealer
for authorized service. Unauthorized repairs or replace-
ment with non-factory parts could cause serious injury
to the operator and damage to the jointer.
