Here's a quick maintenance tip for the PH260. Check occasionally for sawdust buildup under the feed roller bushing seats. These are located at the end of each feed roller, and have a little flap at the bottom that is designed to keep sawdust out. These flaps work pretty well, but over time, sawdust will creep in and find itself a home underneath these blocks. The feed rollers rise when material is moving through the machine and this is when the sawdust will settle in. Over time, this will begin to raise the level of the feed rollers and will eventually begin to effect how well the feed rollers grip the wood. The sawdust buildup will prevent the feed rollers from going all the way down to their lowest position.
So, occasionally blow these out with compressed air and insure that they are clean. While you are at it, place a drop or two of oil on the top of the feed roller right where it goes into the bushing at the end.
Compressed air is a great way to keep your PH260 clean of sawdust buildup. Be sure and keep the motors clean of dust underneath the machine. Never let sawdust buildup to the point where it is covering the motors. Also, keep sawdust off all the chains in the machine.
A few burst with the compressed air nozzle will keep things running smooth in your machine!
