Maintenance
Disconnect machine from
power source before doing any
maintenance. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury.
The table and fence surfaces must be kept
clean and free of rust for best results. Some
users apply a thin coat of paste wax. Avoid
waxes or protective sprays that contain silicone,
as this can transfer to the workpiece and make it
difficult for later finishes to adhere to the wood.
Another option is talcum powder applied with a
blackboard eraser rubbed in vigorously once a
week; this will fill casting pores and form a
moisture barrier. This method provides a table
top that is slick and allows rust rings to be easily
wiped from the surface. Important also is the
fact that talcum powder will not stain wood or
mar finishes as some other products.
Gum and pitch which collect on the knives
cause excessive friction as the work continues,
resulting in overheating of the knives, less
efficient cutting, and consequent reduction in the
life of the knives. Use oven cleaner or “gum and
pitch remover” to wipe this off the knives. Use
caution when working around knives!
The bearings in the cutterhead are sealed for life
and do not require lubrication.
The fence assembly should slide easily over the
slide bracket. Keep the slide bracket, shown in
Figure 48, lubricated with a good quality multi-
purpose grease. Do not get grease on the drive
belt.
Do not place heavy objects on the tables, or use
the jointer as a storage table.
Sharpening Knives
Knives should be kept sharp. This will contribute
to better stock finish, longer machine life, and
safer operation.
A jointer knife hone provides a simple way to
sharpen knives. Hones are available from many
woodworking supply stores. Carefully read any
instructions that accompany the hone.
Use caution and proceed
slowly when sharpening knives. Disconnect
jointer from power source, and wear
approved eye protection.
When finished sharpening knives, they should
be re-set level with and parallel to the outfeed
table. See “Setting Knives at Correct Height and
Parallel to Outfeed Table” on page 18.
