Always disconnect power

to the machine before

performing maintenance.

Failure to do this may

result in serious person-

al injury.

Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth—this
ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain
on bare metal surfaces. Treat all unpainted cast
iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after
cleaning. We recommend products like SLIPIT

Gun Treatment, or Boeshield

T-9 (see

ate pressure. After the first 16 hours of belt life,
retension them, as they will stretch and seat dur-
ing this time.

Always replace the V-belts with a matched set of
3 belts, or belt tension may not be even among
the 3 belts and can cause premature belt failure.
