MAINTENANCE
This shaper requires very little maintenance
other than minor lubrication and cleaning. The
following sections detail what will need to be
done in order to assure continued operation of
your shaper.
LUBRICATION
The shaper has sealed lubricated bearings in
the motor housing and the arbor assembly that
do not require any additional lubrication from
the operator.

saw dust and wood chips. With the shaper
unplugged,vacuum out the inside of the cabi-
net or blow out the inside with an air hose. Be

cabinet of the shaper.
