6.3 Motors and Bits
Because the motors are enclosed in the machine, it is important that the maintenance guidelines
provided in the manufacturer’s instruction manual are strictly observed.
 Periodically during operation, blow out the air passages on both motors with 30 PSI
compressed air.
 Let motors rest/cool down after 2 hours of continual use.
 Use dust collection for clearing sawdust out of your machine case and creating air flow
through the case to aid in cooling the motors.
 When cutting pockets in solid woods such as maple, oak, ash or alder the
B00438 4-flute
HSS Cobalt bit can be used. Use of this bit is NOT recommended in particle board.
 If pockets are being cut in both types of materials (i.e., particleboard and hard wood) or if
an exceptionally long bit life is desired, then it is suggested that the B00338 solid carbide
bit (shipped with your machine) be used. Both bits are available through Castle, Inc.
 The pilot hole is made with a 9

64
” drill bit, B02964 . This size drill bit comes with your
machine. Also available are a
7
