SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Damaged or worn sanding belt or disc.
• Check cords, plugs, and switch for damage.
• Wipe the work table clean after every use—
this ensures moisture from wood dust does
not remain on bare metal surfaces.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Any other unsafe condition.
After Each Use:
• Clean/vacuum dust buildup on tables and
motor.
Monthly Check:
• Check and lubricate table support rod (see
Page 45).
After 50 Hours of Use:
• Check and correct V-belt tension, damage, or
wear (see Page 48).
• Check and correct sanding belt tension (see
Page 49).
Yearly
• Check and lubricate the rocker plate (see
Page 45).

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model G1014Z/G1014ZX is relatively
easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust,
and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth.
If any resin has built up, use a resin-dissolving
cleaner to remove it. Treat all unpainted cast iron
and steel with a non-staining lubricant after clean-
ing.

Unpainted Cast Iron

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the
table by wiping the table clean after every use—
this ensures moisture from wood dust does not
remain on bare metal surfaces.
Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of
products like G96 Gun Treatment, SLIPIT
®
T-9 (see Section 5: Accessories on
Boeshield
®
Page 42 for more details).

Lubrication

An essential step for lubrication is cleaning the
components before lubricating them.
This idea is critical because dust will build up on
lubricated components and make them hard to
move. Simply adding more grease to the com-
ponents with built-up grime on them will not yield
smooth moving components.
Clean the components in this section with an oil/
grease solvent cleaner, such as shown on Page
17 so they move smoothly.
The following components need to be lubricated:
• Rocker Plate
• Table Support Rod
