10. Preventive Maintenance, Lubrication,
Repairs, and Warranty
2) MOTOR — The motor is equipped with sealed bearings that require no lubrication.
3) CUTTER HEAD — The cutter head is equipped with precision ball bearings for years of
trouble free service and requires no lubrication. The cutter head swivel surface and plunger
angle holes should be given a light coat of LPS#3 or equivalent, once every four to six months.
4) BEARINGS AND SLIDING SURFACES — These are to be given a light coat of a light grease
at least every six months.
5) EXPOSED STEEL SURFACES — All remaining exposed steel shafts, cutters, etc., should be
sprayed with WD-40 or equivalent light oil at least every six months. Wipe off any excess.
6) CLEANING — Remove all brass chips, dirt, and grit from the surface of your machine daily,
with a soft bristle brush. Take particular care in keeping the jaw area clean and free of all
residue build-up.
7) CALIBRATING DEPTH FOR RESHARPENED CUTTERS — Sharpening cutters changes
the diameter; HPC, Inc. recommends replacing cutters instead of sharpening. The diameter of
a resharpened cutter is smaller and therefore will make cuts shallower (if no depth adjustment
is made). In order to maintain matched cutter diameters, all cutters for this machine must be
resharpened at the same time, and all diameters must be sharpened proportionately.
8) DRIVE BELT — The drive belt (CM-1083MA) was selected especially for this machine and
should give years of good service. If it becomes worn or broken and requires replacement, be
sure to install the new belt with the teeth outward.
Note: The drive belt is somewhat more noisy when it is made to “cross-over” as the cutter head
is swiveled to either the left or right angle when cutting Medeco
