Extreme Duty Planers -19-
The table and other non-painted surfaces on the
Extreme Duty Planer should be protected against
rust and pitting. Wiping the table clean after every
use ensures that wood dust isn’t allowed to trap
moisture against bare metal surfaces.
Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applica-
tions of products like Boeshield
® T-9. For long
term storage you may want to consider products
like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.
Regularly blow out cabinet, feed rollers, chip
breakers and cutterhead with compressed air
(always wear safety glasses and a dust mask
when doing this) and keep the dust port clear.
Periodic maintenance on your 20" Extreme Duty
Planer Planer ensures its optimum performance.
Make a habit of inspecting your planer each time
you use it.
Check for the following conditions and repair or
replace when necessary.
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn switch.
• Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
• Damaged V-belt.
• Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
Lubrication
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any adjustments or
maintenance. Failure to
do this may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
The Extreme Duty Planers have four lubrication
points that need to be lubricated according to
planer usage. Always lubricate more often under
dusty/dirty conditions. As a general rule, lubricate
as follows:
1. Micro-Adjustment Knob — Once a week
for heavy use; once a month for moderate
use. See
Figure 20 for grease fitting loca-
tion.
