• Clean the hollow chisel, auger bit, worktable, and chip removal areas after each use to prevent debris buildup.
• Inspect chisels and auger bits regularly for dullness, damage, or excessive wear and sharpen or replace as needed.
• Keep pneumatic components, air lines, and fittings clean and check for leaks to maintain consistent performance.
• Lubricate moving parts, guide columns, slides, and adjustment mechanisms according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Verify chisel-to-bit alignment periodically to ensure clean, accurate mortises and reduce tool wear.
• Drain moisture from the air supply system and use clean, dry compressed air to protect pneumatic components.
• Inspect clamps, hold-downs, and workpiece positioning systems to ensure secure operation.
• Check electrical controls, switches, and motor components for signs of wear or damage.
• Test safety guards, emergency stops, and operating controls regularly to ensure safe operation.
• Store the machine in a clean, dry environment and protect exposed metal surfaces from rust and corrosion.
