GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Jointer/planer will operate best if it is kept in good oper-

ating condition. Keep unit adjusted as described in

"Operation."

• Do not allow gum and pitch to accumulate on the

tables, fence, blades and blade guard.

• Apply a thin coat of paste type wax to the tables and

the fence so that the wood slides easily while feeding.

• Keep blades sharp (see Sharpening Blades, page

9). Sometimes replacing blades is less expensive

than resurfacing them. Keeping a spare set of blades

on hand is recommended. Blades should always be

sharpened or replaced in sets of two.

LUBRICATION

WARNING: Make sure the switch is in the OFF posi-

tion and the tool is disconnected from the power

source.

WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gaso-

line, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic

parts. They contain chemicals that can damage and/or

destroy plastics.

• Motor and cutterhead bearings are sealed and need

no lubrication.

• Fence, fence bracket and elevation screws should

be cleaned of debris and greased as needed.

MACHINED SURFACES

• Surface of tables and fence must be kept smooth and

clean for easy work feed.

• Apply a paste wax to surfaces to keep them slick

and prevent corrosion.

BRUSH INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT

WARNING: Turn jointer off and disconnect from power

source. Brush life depends on amount of load on motor.

Regularly inspect brushes after 100 hours of use.

Brushes are located on either side of motor.

Refer to Figure 25, page 16.

• Loosen brush cap (Key No. 44) and remove brush (Key

No. 45) from motor.

• Replace brushes if springs are worn.

• Replace brushes if carbon is worn to 3/8"length or

less.

NOTE: Replace brushes in sets only.

• Replace brushes and tighten brush cap.
