3. Plywood has a tendency to chip out on
exposed edges. A back-up board should be
used as needed (see Figure 29).
Maintenance
Before doing maintenance
on the machine, disconnect it from the
electrical supply. Failure to comply may
cause serious injury.
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in
any way, have it replaced immediately.
The table and other exposed metal parts should
be kept clean and free of rust. A coat of paste
wax will help protect the table from tarnishing.
After each day’s use, brush or blow out dust and
debris from the cutter, table, motor, etc.
Keep the clamping bars clean to prevent debris
adhering to them, which can scar workpieces.
Keep clean the travel rods upon which the
headstock slides.
Lubrication
The linear bushings by which the headstock
travels on the rods are pre-lubricated and
sealed; they do not require additional lubrication.
The spindle bearing should be lubricated as
needed, according to machine usage. Apply VG-
120 grease through the grease nipple on the
spindle (#10 in the exploded view on page 27).
