The model TSM-21 requires very little maintenance. However, to ensure productivity and
longevity of your Castle Pocket Cutting Machine, it is essential to follow a few simple steps.
How often these steps are performed depends upon the number of hours the machine is operated
each day. As a general rule, operators should visually inspect the machine at the start of each
work shift in the following manner:
ƒ Check power cord and foot switch cord for wear or damage.
ƒ Ensure that router bit and drill bit are clean, sharp and undamaged.
ƒ Keep the router and drill motors free from dust build up.
ƒ Check for proper safety switch function. Turn the machine on and press the foot switch
without a work piece against safety buttons. The machine should not cycle if the safety
switch is working properly. If you suspect a safety switch malfunction, contact a Castle,
Inc. service technician at 1-800-282-8338 as soon as possible for corrective action.
ƒ Do not introduce lubricants, oils, or solvents into the pneumatic system. This can
cause irreparable damage to pneumatic components.
