CIRCUIT OVERLOAD SWITCH
The machine is provided with an overload
switch for overload protection. If an overload
occurs, the switch will pop out. If this happens,
wait several minutes and press the switch to
reset the machine.
LUBRICATION
The recommended lubrication for roller chains
used in medium to low operation is to simply
wipe the chain clean. When there is an excess
build up of dust or wood shavings etc., coat
chain with a light film of oil but never pour
the oil directly on the chain. Over-oiling tends
to hasten the collection of dust and wood-
shavings and works them into members of
the chain leading to increased wear and pre-
mature replacement. This applies to the speed
reduction and height adjustment chains as well
as the elevation screws.
The bearings on the cutterhead are factory
lubricated and sealed. They require no further
attention.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Build-up of sawdust and other debris can cause
your machine to plane inaccurately. Periodic
cleaning is mandatory for precision planing
and highly recommended.
Close fitting parts, such as the lockbars and
the planer cutterhead slots, should be cleaned
with a brush; removing clinging foreign mat-
ter. Then replace all parts in their respective
positions slightly dampened with oil. Remove
resin and other accumulations from feed roll-
ers and table with a non-flamable solvent.
