MAINTENANCE WARNING: When servicing use only identical RIDGID replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask. LUBRICATION All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required. The following parts should be oiled occasionally with SAE No. 20 or No. 30 engine oil. See Figure 47. n Dovetail spacer and dovetail slide. n Elevation screw (first clean if necessary). DOVETAIL SLIDE GENERAL MAINTENANCE Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc. Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the tables, the fence, the cutter guard, the cutter head, or the knives. Clean them with an appropriate solvent. Apply a thin coat of paste type wax to the tables and the fence so that the wood slides easily while feeding. This also deters rusting. Do not allow chips to accumulate on the underside of the jointer/planer. If power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately. Disassembly of the motor should only be done by an Authorized Service Center. Disregarding this may void your tool's warranty. NOTE: The speed of this motor cannot be regulated or changed. Motors used on woodworking tools are particularly susceptible to the accumulation of sawdust and wood chips and should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to prevent interference with normal motor ventilation. WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury. Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air. ELEVATION SCREW Fig. 47 MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION NOTE: To reduce the risk of motor damage, this motor should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep sawdust from interfering with normal motor ventilation. n Connect this tool to a power source with the appropriate voltage for your model and a 15-amp branch circuit with a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. Using the wrong size fuse can damage the motor. n If the motor won't start, turn off the power switch immediately and unplug the tool. Check the cutter head to make sure it turns freely. If the cutter head is free, try to start the motor again. If the motor still does not start, refer to the "Motor Troubleshooting Chart." n Fuses may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip frequently if: If Motor is Overloaded-Overloading can occur if you feed too rapidly or make too many start/stops in a short time. If line voltage is more than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage. For heavy loads, however, the voltage at motor terminals must equal the voltage specified for your model. If improper or dull jointer knives are used. n Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect connections, overload, low voltage (such as small size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long supply circuit wire. Always check the connections, the load, and the supply circuit whenever motor doesn't work well. Check wire sizes and length with the Wire Size Chart. 32
