Maintenance

 

Periodic Maintenance

  1. Routinely check the tool for damage or broken parts.
  2. Clean the top cover, dust shroud and all accessible areas of the unit of dust and wood debris that have collected in from planeing.
  3. Wipe off infeed and outfeed rollers.
  4. Clean base table. Light waxing will help wood material pass through the planer.
  5. Evaluate blade sharpness condition. Replace as necessary.
  6. Gauge Calibration, check thickness gauge calibration and turret stop calibration.
  7. Check brushes for wear and replace as necessary
  8. The lubricant in the gear box must be drained and replaced every 2,500 hours. Multi-purpose gear box lubricant will be suitable.

  2. Use T27 to remove damaged insert
