MAINTENANCE
MAKE SURE THE SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION AND UNPLUG THE UNIT FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PER-
FORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.
LUBRICATION
Use an all purpose grease. Keep the belt tilting mechanism
grease every year as needed. Lubricate the drum oscillating mechanism
black box
, located under the left drum, with a 4 mm Allen key.
All motor and drum bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated. No further lubrication is needed.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
1. Work area, and machine should be cleaned after every finished project.
2. Keep the machine CLEAN and FREE OF DUST to help dissipate heat and avoid motor overheating.
3. Drums must always be kept clean. Dirt on drums will cause poor tracking and belt slippage
4. Periodically inspect the ON/OFF switch, power cord, plug and other parts for damage.
DO NOT OPERATE THE SANDER WITH A DAMAGED SWITCH, POWER CORD, PLUG, OR OTHER PARTS. REPLACE A DAM-
AGED PART IMMEDIATELY.
REQUIRED MAINTENANCE
1. Sanding belt should be replaced when worn out.
2. Replace any damaged or missing parts before
operating.
3. The graphite coating on the platen
over time require replacement. Every 3 years
(approx) in small shop settings and up to 10 years in
home shop settings, the graphite coating will begin
to show visible signs of wear and will need to be
peeled off (using a solvent based stripper ) and
removed. A replacement graphite coated paper
strip should be glued (with contact cement) onto
the platen in it's place. Most retail outlets that sell
stationary power tools and abrasives products do
stock graphite replacement strips for most popular
sizes of sanders.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPAIR MOTOR YOURSELF. CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.
