Lubrication<br />
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently<br />
lubricated, leave them alone until they need to<br />
be replaced. Do not lubricate them.<br />
The Model <strong>W1683</strong> does need lubrication in other<br />
places.<br />
• Columns and Lead Screws — Remove dust<br />
covers for access. Lubricate columns weekly<br />
with light oil, and lubricate the four lead<br />
screws once a month with general purpose<br />
grease.<br />
• Worm Gear — Inspect the worm gear<br />
monthly and lubricate when needed. The<br />
worm gear box will need to be removed to<br />
perform the inspection. See Figure 37.<br />
Figure 37. Worm gear.<br />
• Chain — Inspect the table height<br />
adjustment chain monthly and lubricate as<br />
needed. Use high quality chain lubricant for<br />
best results.<br />
MAINTENANCE<br />
• Gear Box — Drain the gear box after the<br />
first 20 hours of operation. Figure 38 shows<br />
the gear box drain and fill plugs. Refill with<br />
80-90w gear oil. The oil level should reach<br />
the top of the filler plug port. After the<br />
initial change, inspect fluid levels<br />
periodically and change yearly. If your<br />
planer receives heavy use, change the gear<br />
oil more frequently.<br />
• Drive Chain — Inspect and lubricate the<br />
drive chain monthly. Check the sprockets,<br />
the chain, and the master links during<br />
inspection. Use a general purpose grease to<br />
lubricate the chain.<br />
• Feed Rollers — Lubricate feed rollers daily<br />
before start-up. Figure 39 shows the<br />
lubrication points for the feed rollers. These<br />
are screws that have holes drilled through<br />
them to allow oiling. Make sure that dust is<br />
not trapped in these screws and apply 2<br />
drops of light oil in each to penetrate the<br />
bearings. Do not lubricate more than this or<br />
the excess will end up on the floor.<br />
