MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
Switch off the planer, unplug the power cord and wait until all moving parts have completely stopped before carrying out any maintenance. Fit all
the safety devices when you have finished.
The following parts should be lubricated at intervals of 10 working hours:
• Infeed and outfeed roller bearings.
• Pulley bearings.
• Spindles to adjust table (use only dry lubricant).
Cleaning
• Keep the surface of the table and the infeed and outfeed rollers clean and free from resin etc. for best results. Clean the infeed rollers when
necessary. Clean by immersing the parts in white spirit or the equivalent for one day.
• Always keep the ventilation openings clean, otherwise there is a risk of overheating.
