Maintenance of the machine
Attention: always disconnect the machine from its power supply before starting
all maintenance works!!
The interior parts of the machine must be cleaned regulary in order to avoid an accumulation of dust and
woodchips.
Any possible deposit of resin on the various parts of the tables must be taken away with a piece of cloth and a
little solvent (petrol, kerosine or other product): never smoke or have any naked flame near the machine
when using inflammable products, thus avoiding the risk of fire and serious burns for the operator!
The machine parts which need maintenance are the planer table hinges and axis, they must be lubricated on
a regualr monthly base using a thin oil such as WD-40.
The life of the motor can be extended by blowing out the saw dust from the cooling fan and from the motor
itself.
All bearings inside the machine are double sealed and lubricated for life, therefore they need no naintenance.
