MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
This section of the Mark V Owner's Manual con-
tains maintenance information and a trouble-
shooting guide. It should cover topics and an-
swer most questions you may have for normal
maintenance and problem solving. Follow the
maintenance schedule below for as long as you
own your Mark V. Regular maintenance is essen-
tial for any tool and machine to perform at its best.
The maintenance intervals shown here are based
on normal operation. If you work the machine
unusually hard, you'll need to maintain it more
often.
To estimate "running time", use this rule of thumb:
The average woodworker will use his power
tools only 20% of the total time spent in the shop–
at the most. If you work in your shop for 25 hours,
you've probably logged 4-6 hours on your Mark
V. Average the time you spend in your shop to
determine the proper maintenance interval for
your machine. But the 50-hour procedure should
be performed at least once a year.
