3.0 Maintenance Guide
10
3.1 Routine Maintenance (All Models)
DISCONNECT POWER before making any adjustments or lubricating.
See page 6, SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, for Power Lockout Procedure.
A clean, lubricated machine will run longer, smoother, cut more accurately, with less downtime and
fewer costly repairs. Schedule lubrication both early in the day and early in the week. This allows the
lubricants to work into the machine. Lubrication at the end of the day or week allows the lubricants to
run off without as much benefit to the machine. The following guidelines will help you set up a regular
maintenance schedule:
3.1.1 Weekly
• Clean — Clean off old, dirty excess grease. Remove the top cover and clean accumulated
du
st off knife bar and gib areas. Built-up dust can increase wear to components.
• Hardware — Remove top cover and bottom cover to check all nuts and bolts for tightness.
Loose hardware is the cause of most component wear and in the electrical area could cause
short circuits and/or shock.
• Lubrication — See section 3.3 page 11
3.1.2 Monthly
• Backgauge Squaring — See section 3.5.1 page 13
3.1.3 Yearly
• Knife Bar Gib Adjustment — See section 3.5.3 page 16
• Ba
ckgauge Accuracy Adjustment — See Section 3.5.2 page 14
3.2 Cleaning (All Models)
Before cleaning inside machine, turn power off and disconnect power cord.
3.2.1 Table
• The front table should be wiped down periodically. Use a non-abrasive cleaner along with a
protective wax.

based detergent. Some petroleum-based solvents may damage the Plexiglas.
3.2.2 Display Panel
