After each use
1.
Clean the machine from wood debris. Also check the chip outlets and the hoses. Remove
wood debris that has accumulated under the machine.
2.
Clean the cutters and the feed rollers from resin and accumulated wood debris. Use min-
eral spirits.
3.
Ensure that wood debris has not accumulated behind the right side bearing housing of
the upper cutter. If so, clean away the debris.
4.
Ensure that wood debris has not accumulated in the springs under the bearing housings
of the feed rollers. If so, clean them. Sometimes the spring must be removed from the
threaded bar to be cleaned.
Note the setting of the spring before removing it.
5.
Clean the machine table and treat it with a lubricant (described above).
6.
Clean and lubricate the three pressure rollers so that they can move easily.
7.
Check belt tensions.
8.
Make sure that all screws and bolts are tight.
9.
Make sure that all cables and connections are in good condition.
10.
Check the lamps by pressing down the emergency stop button and then the start button
of the feeder.
IMPORTANT!
Wood debris can accumulate under the spring mounted
bearings of the feed rollers. This impairs the feeding and increases the
risk of kickbacks.
