the procedures listed below to properly lubri-
cate the other planer components, which are
essential for long life and trouble-free opera-
tion of your planer.
FEED ROLLER BUSHINGS
The infeed and outfeed rollers rotate inside
bushing blocks on both ends of the rollers. Add
2–3 drops of SAE-30W oil to the center hole of
the four feed roller tension adjustment bolts
on top of the head casting, as shown in figure
12.
COLUMNS AND LEADSCREWS
The table rides on the columns and is moved
by the rotation of the leadscrews inside the
columns. Loosen the dust sleeve (see Figure 13)
to access the columns and leadscrews. Apply a
thin coat of SAE-30W oil to the outside surface
of the columns and brush on a light applica-
tion of multi-purpose grease to the leadscrew
threads. Move the table up and down to dis-
tribute the lubricant.
TABLE HEIGHT WORM GEAR
Remove the three cap
screws that secure the
worm gear housing
(see figure 14), then
lift the housing and
hand wheel assembly
off the machine.
Clean away any debris from the housing and
gears, then brush on a moderate amount of
multi-purpose grease to the gear teeth.
TABLE HEIGHT CHAIN & SPROCKETS
The table lead screws are synchronized by the
table height chain and sprockets located un-
derneath the base of the planer. Remove the
front and rear cabinet panels to access these
parts (see figure 15). Use shop rags and miner-
al spirits to clean away debris and grime, then
brush on a light coat of multi-purpose grease
to the chain and sprockets.
DRIVE CHAIN & SPROCKETS
The infeed and out-
feed rollers receive
the transferred power
from the cutterhead
through the drive
chain system on the
right side of the ma-
chine, as shown in fig-
ure 16.
Remove the table height hand wheel and the
safety covers attached to the inside of the drive
chain cover, then remove the cover to access
these parts.
Use shop rags and mineral spirits to clean away
any debris and grime, then brush on a light
coat of multi-purpose grease to the chain and
sprockets.
GEARBOX OIL
The gearbox oil should be changed after the
first 20 hours of operation to clear away any
debris inside the gearbox, then changed an-
nually thereafter. Although it is not necessary
to remove the drive chain cover to access the
fill and drain plugs, it is more convenient to do
so (see figures 17–18). Replace the gearbox oil
with 80W–90W gear oil until it just reaches the
fill plug.
SETTING/REPLACING KNIVES
WARNING: Planer knives are extremely
sharp and can quickly cause a serious injury
to your hands or fingers. Always wear heavy
leather gloves when handling these knives to
reduce the risk of cutting injuries.
