Regular periodic maintenance on your Ultimate
Series Jointer will ensure its optimum perfor-
mance. Make a habit of inspecting your jointer
each time you use it. Check for the following con-
ditions and repair or replace when necessary.
1. Loose mounting bolts.
2. Worn switch.
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4. Damaged V-belt.
5. Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
Inspect regularly for wear; replace when neces-
sary with a size A-36 belt.
Since most of the bearings are sealed and per-
manently lubricated, simply leave them alone
until they need to be replaced. The cutterhead
bearings do need grease after every 80 hours of
use. Unplug the machine and grease each of the
two grease fittings located on each end of the cut-
terhead. The front grease fitting is located in a
small hole and the other is just under the bottom
edge of the fence.
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
ing any maintenance,
assembly or adjust-
ments. Failure to do this
may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
!
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire mainte-
nance process. Failure to
comply may result in
serious personal injury.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applica-
tions of products like Boeshield
®
T-9. For long
term storage you may want to consider products
like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.
