SECTION 8: MAINTENANCE
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.
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model
G1026 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.
General
Table
The table and other non-painted surfaces on the
Model G1026 should be protected against rust
and pitting. Wiping the table clean after every use
ensures that wood dust isn’t allowed to trap mois
-
ture against bare metal surfaces.
Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applica
-
tions of products like Boeshield
®
T-9. For long
term storage you may want to consider products
like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.
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.
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire mainte
-
nance process. Failure
to comply may result in
serious personal injury.
