Maintenance

DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY!
There is very little mechanical maintenance that can be carried out on the machine. Most
prudent maintenance is preventative and concerned with keeping the machine clean.
Inspect and remove all dust/resin build ups, and blow the motor clean.
Remove the sanding disc guard, remove any build ups and clean them thoroughly to allow the
dust to travel over their surfaces smoothly.
6. Clean the surface of the disc with a
degreasing cleaner. Allow to dry off and wipe
over with a clean dry cloth. Locate the sanding
disc, peel the cover from the adhesive surface
and apply CAREFULLY to the disc.Use a piece
of cloth in your hand or wear a glove, to firmly
press the abrasive to the disc, the application
will be reinforced by a gentle sanding action
across the face when you first use the new
sanding disc.
7. Replace the table and guard as described
above, in reverse and continue operation.
