Machine
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:
Check power cord and foot switch cord for wear or damage.
Ensure that router bit and drill bit are clean, sharp and undamaged.
Keep the router and drill motors free from dust build up.
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.
Do not introduce lubricants, oils, or solvents into the pneumatic system. This can
cause irreparable damage to pneumatic components.
