I bought the new Powermatic S Shredder. The new ones have oil cups built into the sides of the gears which of course is a great idea. Does
anyone know what kind of grease this is? It's very thick and kind of reddish in color. They included some of the grease but of course I don't
know how long that will last or what type I need when it comes to buying more. I have included a photo of it with one of the caps removed.
I also have a second question. How does one clean their machines? My old unit would run backwards but not always forward. I'm assuming
it would get gummed up. I read where some actually streamed water into their units and then used the hair dryer to dry it out. Is this a practice
that some are using to keep their machines in top running condition or is there something else that needs to be done?
I always remove the stems and have never overloaded the machine. I treat it with respect cause the machine is an investment that I want
it to last.
If anyone has any advice or suggestions then I'd greatly appreciate it.
