running for years, follow these "manual-standard" maintenance rules Keep it Clean: bosch kl 1206 manual exclusive
- The WD-40 Soak: Remove the tables. The manual specifies leaving them in a WD-40 bath for 24 hours (not kerosene, as it ruins the nickel plating on the adjustment wheels).
- Cutterhead Locking: Never spin the cutterhead by hand. The manual shows a wooden wedge method to lock it for knife removal.
- The Reverse Thread Secret: The left-hand table elevation screw is reverse-threaded. Turning it clockwise lowers the table. This is exclusive to the KL 1206 and is opposite of every other planer. Force it, and you snap the cast iron.
- Re-greasing Gears: Use only NLGI #2 lithium grease. The manual warns that lithium complex will eat the original nylon gears in the elevation mechanism.
