Cleaning Machine
The table and other unpainted parts of your planer are
coated with a waxy grease that protects them from corro-
sion during shipment. Clean this grease off with a solvent
cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-
based solvents such as brake parts cleaner or acetone—if
you happen to splash some onto a painted surface, you
will ruin the finish.
These items are coated and must be cleaned:
1. Cutterhead
2. Table
3. Feed Rollers
4. Extension Wings and Wing Mounting Surfaces
NEVER use gasoline or other petroleum-
based solvents to clean with. Most have
low flash points, which make them
extremely flammable. A risk of explosion
and burning exists if these products are
used. Serious personal injury may occur
if this warning is ignored!
ALWAYS work in well-ventilated areas far from
possible ignition sources when using solvents to
clean machinery. Many solvents are toxic when
inhaled or ingested. Use care when disposing of
waste rags and towels to be sure they DO NOT create
fire or environmental hazards.
