Maintenance Tips

• Clean After Use: Remove sawdust and debris from the saw blade, router, rails, and other components after each use. Use a soft cloth, air compressor, or vacuum system to prevent buildup that can affect performance.

• Inspect and Replace Saw Blade: Check the saw blade for dullness, chips, or wear. Replace the blade when necessary to maintain cutting precision and prevent damage to the motor.

• Router Bit Maintenance: Inspect the router bits for dullness, chipping, or wear. Replace or sharpen them as necessary to maintain clean cuts and proper routing performance.

• Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply lubricant to the rails, carriage system, and other moving components to minimize friction and ensure smooth operation. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the correct type of lubricant.

• Check Fasteners and Alignments: Regularly inspect screws, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they are secure. Check the alignment of the saw and router systems to maintain precise cutting and routing.

• Dust Collection System: Regularly clean the dust collection system to ensure it is free of blockages. Clean hoses, filters, and connections to maintain effective dust extraction.

• Inspect Electrical Components: Check electrical connections and wiring for any signs of wear, loose connections, or damage. Ensure proper grounding and replace any damaged components.

• Examine the Feed System: Check the feed rollers and conveyor system for wear, debris, or misalignment. Clean and lubricate the feed rollers to ensure smooth material feeding.

• Monitor Motor and Router Performance: Inspect both the saw and router motors for overheating, unusual noises, or performance issues. Ensure they are properly ventilated and running efficiently.
