BRUSH INSPECTION AND

REPLACEMENT

Disconnect tool from power source

Brush life varies. It depends on the load on the motor.

Check the brushes after the first 50 hours of use for a

new machine or after a new set of brushes has been

installed. After the first check, examine them after about

10 hours of use until such time that replacement is

necessary.

The brush holders, one of which is shown at (A) Fig. 27,

are located on the motor housing opposite each other.

One of the brushes, removed for inspection, is illustrated

in Fig. 28. When the carbon (B) on either brush is worn

to 3/16" in length or if either spring (C) or shunt wire is

burned or damaged in any way, replace both brushes.

If the brushes are found serviceable after removing, re-

install them in the same position as removed.

After brush maintenance is

completed, the cutterhead guard must be re-installed

before starting the planer.

LUBRICATION

The gears in the gear box and the feed roller bushings

should be lubricated periodically.

Disconnect tool from power source.

1. Remove the screw (A) Fig. 29, and nut located on the

other end of screw. Remove the side cover (B) from

the left side of the planer.

2. Place a light coat of E.P. multi-purpose grease on

the teeth of the gears (C) Fig. 30, and a light coat

of spray lubricant on the chains (F). Replace the side

cover.

3. Place the planer on its back and squirt oil on the feed

roller bushings (D) Fig. 31 at each end of the feed

rollers (E).
