4. Lubricate the hold-down roller bearings every 200 hours of operation with a high-quality
lithium-based grease such as Shell Alvania No. 3.
5. Apply anti-seize lubricant to the surfaces and threads of the blade arbors and locking nuts every
blade change (
See Section 4.1
).
6.6 Anti-Kickback Fingers Maintenance
This machine has the potential for kick-backs. Kick-backs can cause the board to be suddenly and
uncontrollably hurled towards the operator. Such action can result in severe injury or death.
If you are working with frozen boards or with boards that have protruding knots, the chance of
kickbacks is increased.
The infeed opening of the Edger is equipped with anti-kickback fingers to help prevent kickback from
occurring. To maintain the safety of your Edger, periodically inspect the machine to ensure all
anti-kickback fingers are intact and undamaged and have a sharp point. Missing or damaged parts
can affect the safety of the machine operator or bystanders and should be replaced immediately. Do
not sharp the anti-kickback fingers! If they are dulled, replace them with new ones.
DANGER! Always ensure that there is a sharp point on the
anti-kickback fingers before each use of the Edger.
Be sure anti-kickback fingers are free from obstruction and are in a
downward position with lever released. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury.

WARNING! Before performing service near moving parts such as
blades, pulleys, motors, belts and chains, first turn the main switch to
the "0" position and disconnect the power cord.
WARNING! Coastdown Required. Always shut off the motor and allow
all moving parts to come to a complete stop before removing any
guards or covers. Do NOT operate with any guards or covers removed.
WARNING! Visible and/or invisible laser radiation. Avoid eye or skin
exposure to direct or scattered radiation.
DANGER! The operator must not for any reason perform any laser
maintenance or repair work.
Fixed Blade, Laser and Fence Alignment
1. The position of the fixed blade is adjusted by loosening the blade locking nuts just sufficiently to be
able to slide the blade on the shaft.
2. Set the fence to the maximum width, so that the pin is secured in the first hole.
