Maintenance
As with any machine, to ensure optimal performance you must conduct regular
maintenance.
Daily checks.
1.
Clean the machine and lubricate unpainted surfaces with a Teflon lubricant.
Wipe off any excess and buff with a dry polishing cloth. This will reduce the likely
hood of rust forming and reduce the friction on the tables as the wood is machined.
2.
Check cutter teeth for chips and dullness.
3.
Generally inspect the machine for damage and loose or warn parts.
Weekly checks.
1.
Clean the cutter head.
2.
Check cutter teeth for chips and dullness.
3.
Generally inspect the machine for damage and loose or warn parts.
4.
Check the dust extraction for blockages and any large bits that could cause
blockages.
Monthly checks.
1.
Check the motor drive belt for wear, splits and cuts.
2.
Clean the motor compartment and the motor to ensure that the motor cooling
fins work efficiently.
3.
Generally inspect the machine for damage and loose or warn parts.

The drive belt should be checked after running the machine for approximately 10
hours. The belt bed into the pulleys, and will slacken off slightly. If it is not adjusted
slippage may accrue and this will cause early belt failure. There should be a 3/16”
deflection when the belt is pressed with moderate finger pressure.
