The following items need to be periodically inspected and maintained to keep your sander in good working condition.

Sanding Chamber

Periodically blow out the sanding chamber to prevent large accumulations of debris which could interfere with the performance of the tension

roller. NOTE: The tension lever should be in the run/tight abrasive position to blow out.

Wheels

Periodically remove the debris from the truck and caster wheels. Debris can cause waves on a sanded surface.

Upper Roller

Remove the upper roller and blow dust and debris out of upper roller assembly regularly. If dust and debris get compacted in assembly, paper

tracking issues will occur.

Dust Bag

Remove the dust bag from the machine, unzip, empty and shake thoroughly to remove sanding dust from the bag. Turn the dust bag inside

out and hand wash in cold water and let air dry to prevent pore blockage and loss of dust recovery.

Drive Belt

To increase belt tension, open belt guard door and release tension using quick release lever. (See figure 8) Turn the adjustment screw "OUT"

(See figure 45) one quarter turn. Restore tension using quick release lever and check adjustment. Repeat this process if necessary. To lower

tension, the adjustment screw is turned "IN".

Bearings

Periodically check the bearings for wear or damage according to the

following schedule:

Guide rollers after 1

200 hrs.

Idler pulley

after 1

200 hrs.

Rollers

Periodically check the guide rollers and the tension roller for wear.
