SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check:
•
Vacuum all dust on and around the
machine.
• Wipe down tables and all other unpainted
cast iron with a metal protectant.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Any other unsafe condition.
Monthly Check:
•
V-belt tension, damage, or wear.
• Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabi-
net and off motor.
Schedule
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
Below is a list of components that require periodic
lubrication. Be careful not to over-lubricate these
components. Large amounts of lubricant will
attract sawdust, causing the metal components
to gum up and bind.
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
lubricating! Failure to do
this may result in serious
personal injury.
Figure 46. Leadscrew lubrication location.
Leadscrews: Lubricate with light machine oil as
needed. See the location shown in
Figure 46 and
Part 23 and 48 on Page 41. Wipe off excess oil
and sawdust with a cloth.
Gibs: Lower the infeed and outfeed table to
access the gibs. Annually place a couple drops of
oil at the top of each gib and move the tables up
and down to distribute the oil. See the locations
shown in
Figure 47 and Part 66 on Page 41. Wipe
off excess oil.
