Since all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated, leave them alone until they need to
be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them. However,
your planer does need lubrication in the
following listed places, depending on heavy use
and the shop environment: 

Columns and Lead Screws — Lubricate
columns as needed with light oil to prevent
rust, and lubricate the four lead screws
with a general purpose grease to prevent
rust and maintain smooth operation. 

Chain — Inspect the table height
adjustment chain periodically and lubricate
as needed. Use high quality chain lubricant
for best results.

Gear Box — Drain the gear box after the
first 30 hours of operation. Figure 41
shows the gear box drain and fill plugs.
Refill with 80-90w gear oil. The oil level
should reach the top of the filler plug port.
After the initial change, inspect fluid levels
periodically and change yearly. 

Drive Chains — Inspect and lubricate the
drive chains every six months. Check the
sprockets, the chain, and the master links
during inspection. Use a general purpose
grease to lubricate the chain. 

Feed Rollers — The four feed roller plugs
have holes to accept oil. Make sure that no
dust is in the oil holes and lubricate all
four feed roller plugs with two drops of oil
before daily start-up. Figure 42 shows the
lubrication points for the feed rollers. DO
NOT lubricate more than two drops or the
excess oil will end up on the floor.
