G1037 Planer / Moulder -21-

Build-up of sawdust and other debris can cause

your machine to plane and mould inaccurately.

Periodic cleaning and waxing is not only recom-

mended, but mandatory for precision planing and

moulding.

1. Close-fitting parts, such as gibs and the plan-

er cutterhead slots should also be wiped with

an oily cloth and freed from clinging foreign

matter and then replaced in their respective

positions. Do not soak these parts in oil.

2. Occasional use of paste wax on the bed will

prevent rust and reduce friction to ease feed-

ing. However, too much paste wax will rub off

onto the planed wood and prevent proper

staining and finishing. Do not use silicone

based lubricants or polishes. They will create

''fisheyes'' in any subsequent finish that is

applied.

3. Remove resin and other accumulations from

feed rollers and the bed with a nonflammable

solvent such as a saw cleaner.

4. Periodically check all the chains and sprock-

ets for wear. When worn, replace as a set.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

1. The recommended lubrication for roller chains

used in medium to slow speed operation is to

simply wipe the chain clean. When there is an

appreciable build-up of dust, dirt or wood

shavings, use an oil cloth but never pour the

oil directly on the chain. Over-oiling defeats

the purpose of lubrication, since it simply

tends to hasten the collection of dust, shav-

ing, etc., and works into members of the

chain. This hastens wear and leads to prema-

ture replacement. This applies to the speed

reduction and height adjustment chains as

well.

2. The bearings on the cutterhead are factory

lubricated and sealed. They require no further

attention.
