MAINTENANCE

ROUTINE INSPECTION

Before each use, inspect the general condition of the tool. If any of the following conditions exist, do not use until

parts are replaced or the jointer is properly repaired.

Check for:

• Loose hardware or improper mounting,

• Misalignment or binding of moving parts,

• Damaged cord/electrical wiring,

• Worn or damaged blades,

• Cracked or broken parts, and

• Any other condition that may affect its safe operation

CHECK FOR WORN BLADES

The condition of blades will affect the precision of the cuts. Observe the quality of the cut that the jointer produces

to check the condition of the blades. Dull blades will tear wood ﬁbers and produce fuzzy surfaces. Raised grain will

occur when dull blades pound on wood that has varying density. Raised edges will also be produced where the

blades have been nicked. Blades on this jointer should always replaced as a matched set. Keeping a spare set of

blades on hand is recommended. Replacement blades (part no. BP510H) can be ordered from wenproducts.com.

NOTE: Blades are only sharp on two edges. Make sure that the edge facing the infeed table has a sharp cutting edge.

Refer to Fig. 18 for more detail.

justing, or performing any maintenance or lubrication work.

WARNING! Any attempt to repair or replace electrical parts on this tool may be hazardous. Servicing of the

WARNING! To avoid cuts, wear cut-proof or cut-resistant gloves when performing maintenance work. Re-

move the gloves before operating the jointer.
