ROUTINE INSPECTION
Before each use, inspect the general condition of the tool. If any of these following conditions exist, do not use until
parts are replaced or the sharpener is properly repaired.
Check for:
• Loose hardware,
• Misalignment or binding of moving parts,
• Damaged cord/electrical wiring,
• Cracked or broken parts, and
• Any other condition that may affect its safe operation
CLEANING
1. Keep the ventilation openings free from dust and debris to prevent the motor from overheating.
2. Periodically clean the inside of the machine for dust control. Use compressed air (not exceeding 25 PSI) to blow
out dust from the motor housing and blade housing.
3. Wipe the tool surfaces clean with a clean cloth. Make sure water does not get into the tool.
4. Every 6 months, use a wire brush to clean dust off the trunnions, gears, blade elevation and fence / rail mecha-
nism and apply a dry lubricant, such as PTFE, to these parts.
NOTE:
Applying a wet lubricant (e.g. grease, etc.) can
cause sawdust and wood chips to become trapped, decreasing the life of these components.
