SECTION 8: MAINTENANCE

Disconnect power from
the machine when per-
forming any maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious personal
injury.

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model
G1035 Shaper will ensure its optimum perfor-
mance. Make a habit of inspecting your shaper
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.

Lubrication

The only parts on this machine that require peri-
odic lubrication are the ways where the cartridge
slide rides on the elevation housing and where the
worm gear and bushing are located. Use a light
grease or anti-seizing compound on the ways and
worm gear and give the shaft mount a shot of light
oil. The frequency of lubrication depends on the
amount you use the shaper. As a habit, inspect
the machine at least once a month.

Table
The table and other non-painted surfaces on the
Model G1035 should be protected against rust
and pitting. Wiping the table clean after every
use ensures that moisture from wood dust isn't
allowed to trap moisture against bare metal sur-
faces.
Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applica-
tions of products like SLIPIT
For long term storage you may want to consider
products like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.

V-Belt

Avoid getting grease or oil on the V-belt or pul-
leys.
Check the V-belt, as part of your monthly inspec-
tion, for proper tension and belt condition. Cracking
and glazing could result in belt failure. Replace
the belt if such conditions appear.
