Operation Manual
NX SERIES V0913 39
– English
Planer protection during mortising (g. 33)
Warning:
Always put the planer protection bridge in position above the planer arbour. This prevents accidental
contact of the operator’s hands with the planer arbor and knives during mortising. Alternatively, slide
the planer fence fully forward (covering the planer arbor with the planer fence rear protection).
Fig.33
Fixing the mortising chuck to the spindle (g. 34)
Always ensure that both the spindle and chuck threads absolutely clean before assembly.
Fig.34
Warning: the mortiser chuck has a left hand thread!
Put the chuck onto the spindle arbor up to the end and check if the V-groove (2) in the spindle matches
with the 2 holes in the chuck (if not, the spindle thread will be damaged!). Introduce the 2 Allen screws
(1) and tighten them well. These press screws are needed to prevent the chuck from loosening.
Maintenance (g. 35, 36, 37)
Warning: always disconnect the machine from its power supply before starting any maintenance
work!!!!
The interior and exterior parts of the machine must be cleared at regular intervals to avoid
accumulation of dust and woodchips. Any deposits of resin on the cross cut table sliding bars or on
any other moving part of the machine must be removed with a piece of cloth and a little solvent (petrol,
kerosene or other product). Never smoke or have any naked ame near the machine when using
inammable products, this to prevent risk of re and serious burns for the operator.
All bearings are double sealed and lubricated for life, therefore they need no maintenance. All columns,
e.g. spindle, thicknesser, mortiser need to be lubricated once a month, especially when the machine
is used in a very humid environment. The best product to use is simple penetrating oil in a spray can.
All other moving parts have to be kept free of dust and woodchips and may be greased with the same
penetrating oil.
The use of a dust extraction system will most certainly extend the life of your machine. The life of the
motors can be extended by blowing out saw dust from the cooling fan and from the motor body itself.
