After you have reviewed your machine's manual, you will typically see that the following steps should be followed in properly maintaining your machine.

Here are some key features for General Service and Maintenance for edgebanders:

  • Cleaning: Clean the edgebander at least once a day to prevent jams and keep it running well. You can use only a vacuum cleaner for electrical cabinets;
  • Lubrication: Lubricate the feed track chain, glue pot and linear bearings regularly. You can use High Temperature grease for the glue pot;
  • Compressed air: Check the air regulator to ensure there is oil in the reservoir;
  • End saw blades: Before installing new blades, clean the area where the blades are mounted;
  • Fine trimmers: Replace the blades on fine trimmers to ensure quality and precision;
  • Universal joint: Clean and lubricate the universal joints to maintain smooth operation;
  • Tracing shoes: Check the tracing shoes for wear and replace them if needed;
