Make a habit of inspecting your planer each time you
use it. Check the following conditions and repair or
replace as necessary.
1. Worn Switch
2. Damaged cords and/or plugs
3. Damaged belts
4. Loose bolts
5. Any other condition that could hamper the safe
operation of the machine
The table and other non-painted surfaces on the planer
should be protected against rust. Be sure to wipe the
table clean after every use. This will help prevent
moisture from the wood condensing on the bare metal
table. It is also a good idea to use a paste wax on the
bare metal surfaces. This will help keep moisture from
the table and hence help keep it from rusting. Over
time, some rust may still develop on the table. To get
rid of the rust, use some WD-40 and a fine steel wool.
Your planer is equipped with factory sealed bearings
requiring no lubrication during its lifetime. If the bearing
should fail, the planer will produce a pronounced
rumble that will get even louder under load. If it is
allowed to get worse, overheating can occur and
eventually the bearing can seize up, possibly causing
damage to other parts of the machine.
The worm gear should be inspected monthly and
lubricated with a white lithium grease as needed.
Remove the worm gear box to inspect. See parts
diagram for location.
The table height adjustment chain should be inspected
regularly and lubricated as needed. Lubricate with a
general purpose grease.

Gear box oil should be drained after the first 20 hours
of operation. Replace with 80W-90 gear oil for use in
room temperature shops and 50W gear oil for
unheated winter shops. Inspect levels periodically and
change yearly for occasional use, more frequently with
heavy use.
To inspect oil level,
1. Using the short end of a hex wrench, dip the wrench
inside the fill hole and rotate so the long end of the
wrench is parallel to the table.
2. Remove the wrench. If the end of the hex wrench is
coated with oil, then the gearbox level is okay.
3. If the end of the hex wrench is not coated with oil,
then you need to add more oil.
4. Remove gear box cover. For information on
removing gear box cover, refer to the gear box
section in the ADJUSTMENTS section of this
manual, page 26.
5. Replace fill plug when finished.
The drive chain should be inspected and lubricated
monthly using a general purpose grease.
The infeed / outfeed pressure setscrews double as the
lubrication ports for the rollers. Add 1-2 drops of light
machine oil to all ports before every use. Daily
lubrication of feed rollers is
to the operation
of the planer. Lubricate before start up.
The four lead screws (A) should be lubricated with
general purpose grease at least one a week.
