Cleaning
Cleaning Model G0864 is relatively easy. Vacuum
excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off
remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has
built up, use a resin-dissolving cleaner to remove.
Using an abrasive belt/disc cleaner can prolong
the life of a clogged sanding belt/disc, provided it
is in otherwise good condition.
To clean sanding belt/disc:
1.
Turn machine ON.
2.
Using work table as support, rub abrasive
cleaner on sanding belt/disc in continuous
motion, covering entire surface of belt/disc
until belt/disc is no longer clogged.
3.
Turn machine OFF.
