Maintenance Tips
-
Clean tables & cutterhead area regularly: Wipe off dust, chips and resin after each use to maintain smooth feed and flat surfaces.
-
Check insert knives: Inspect carbide bits for wear or chipping and rotate or replace before finish quality suffers.
-
Lubricate adjustment mechanisms: Apply light oil or grease to parallelogram screws, hand-wheels, and fence shaft for smooth motion.
-
Verify table alignment & fence accuracy: Periodically check that in-feed and out-feed tables are flush and that the fence is square for consistent jointing.
-
Maintain dust extraction & guards: Ensure the dust port remains clear and safety guards are functioning—good extraction reduces wear and improves shop air quality.
