G0633/G0634 Jointer/Planer Combo Machine
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.
SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check:
•
Clean unpainted cast iron parts of jointer and
planer tables
• Lubricate feed rollers
Weekly Check:
•
Clean cutterhead
Monthly Check:
•
Inspect V-belt tension, damage, or wear
• Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabi-
net and off motor
• Lubricate worm gear
• Lubricate roller chains
• Lubricate elevation lead screw
• Lubricate worm shaft
Schedule
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
® ,
G96 ® Gun Treatment, or Boeshield ® T-9 (see
Page 32 for more details).
Cleaning
V-Belts
V-belt removal and replacement involves remov-
ing the V-belts, rolling them off of the pulleys,
replacing them with new belts, then retensioning
them.
Always replace V-belts as a set, or belt tension
may not be even among the belts and may cause
premature belt failure.
Consider replacing stock belts with Power Twist
V-belts (see
Page 32) to reduce vibration and
noise, and increase belt lifespan.
To adjust/replace belts the V-belts:
1. DISCONNECT THE JOINTER/PLANER
FROM THE POWER SOURCE!
2. Remove the five hex bolts securing the V-belt
cover (see Figure 46).
3. Remove the fence and fence bracket, then
remove the motor access cover and belt ten-
sion knob (
Figure 46).
