Maintenance
Before doing maintenance on
the machine, disconnect it from the electrical
supply by pulling out the plug or switching
off the main switch! Failure to comply may
cause serious injury.
Use a brush to loosen accumulated chips and
debris. Use a shop vacuum to remove the
debris. Make sure the chip brush on the lower
band wheel is properly adjusted.
Lubricate the air compressor with air tool oil
about every six months, or more frequently if
necessary. Unscrew the cap (Figure 26) and
add oil. Replace cap when finished.
Add grease to the gear box through the grease
fitting; also add grease as needed to the worm
gear.
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in
any way, have it replaced immediately.
