MAINTENANCE
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model W1701 1HP
Shaper will ensure its optimum performance. Make a
habit of inspecting your shaper each time you use it
Check for the following conditions and repair or
replace when necessary:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn switch.
• Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
• Damaged drive belt.
• Any other condition that could hamper the safe
operation of this machine.
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to
be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
For other items on this machine, an occasional
application of light machine oil is all that is necessary.
Before applying lubricant, clean off sawdust.
Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too much
lubrication will attract dirt and sawdust. Various parts of
your machine could lose their freedom of movement as a
result.
Cleaning the Model W1701 is relatively easy. Vacuum
excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remain-
ing dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a
resin dissolving cleaner to remove it.
Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the table
by wiping the table clean after every use—this ensures
moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal
surfaces.
Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of a qual-
ity metal protectant.
