This planer uses sealed and pre-lubricated ball bearings
that require no lubrication.
The following is a list of parts that need lubrication:
Columns/Lead Screws: The four columns should be lubri-
cated monthly with SAE 30W oil. Unfasten dust covers to
gain access. The four lead screws ( Figure 17) should be
lubricated with general purpose grease once a month.
Worm Gear: The worm gear should be inspected monthly
and lubricated with general purpose grease when needed.
Remove the worm gear box to inspect. See parts diagram
on Page 42 for location.
Chain: The table height adjustment chain (see Figure 24
on Page 28) should be inspected monthly and lubricated
with general purpose grease when needed.
Gear Box: Gear box oil should be changed after the first
20 hours of operation (see Figure 18). Inspect levels
periodically and change yearly. Replace gear oil more fre-
quently under heavy use. See Page 14 for instructions on
adding oil.
Replace with 80W-90W gear oil. Fill until oil reaches the
top of the filler plug port for correct oil level.
Drive Chain: The drive chain should be inspected and
lubricated monthly. See Part 206 on Page 45. Check
sprocket, chain and cotter pin during inspection. Use a
general purpose grease. Some chains will have master
links instead of cotter pins.
Feed Rollers: Regular lubrication of feed rollers is crucial
to the operation of your planer. Lubricate every 24-30
hours of use. Each end of each power feed roller has an
oiling port located on the top of the headstock ( Figure
19). Apply SAE 30W oil, making sure that the lubricant
penetrates the bearing.
