SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.

Schedule

For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Ongoing
To minimize your risk of injury and maintain proper
machine operation, shut down the machine imme-
diately if you ever observe any of the items below,
and fix the problem before continuing operations:
Loose mounting bolts.
Worn switches.
Worn or damaged wires.
Damaged V-belt.
Any other unsafe condition.
Monthly Check
V-belt tension, damage, or wear (Page 32).
Clean/vacuum dust buildup off motor.
Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning the Model T31739 is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any
resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner
to remove it.
Protect the unpainted cast-iron table by wiping
it clean after every use—this ensures moisture
from wood dust does not remain on bare metal
surfaces. Keep the table rust-free with regular
applications of products like those in Figure 39.

Lubrication

An essential part of lubrication is cleaning the
components before lubricating them.
This step is critical because grime and chips build
up on lubricated components, which makes them
hard to move. Simply adding more lubricant will
not result in smooth moving parts.
Clean components in this section before lubricat-
ing with recommended products like those shown
in Figure 40.
