MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION !
- Before making any repairs or maintenance on the thicknesser, disconnect the power cord from the power
socket. The power cord must be disconnected every time you make an adjustment or perform maintenance
on the machine.
- To avoid electric shocks and wounds, use only suitable spare parts.
- If the power cord is damaged, replace immediately.
LUBRICATION
The recommended lubrication for roller chains used in medium to slow speed operation is simply to wipe the chain
clean. When there is an appreciable build-up of dust, dirt or wood shavings, coat chain with a light film of oil (do not
pour the oil directly onto the chain).
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 not only
recomended, but mandatory for accurate precision planing.
Close-fitting parts, such as the lock bars and the planer cutterhead slots should be cleaned with a brush and freed from
clinging foreign matter and then replaced in their respective positions, slightly dampened with oil.
Remove resin and other accumulations from feed rolls and table with a non-flammable solvent.
