Cleaning Machine
Cleaning the Model G1066R/G1066Z/G1079R 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 dis-
solving cleaner to remove it.
Cleaning Sandpaper
To increase the working life of your sandpaper,
clean it whenever you notice a decrease in per-
formance due to heavy loading of material. Use
a Model D3003 PRO-STIK
shown in Figure 32.
To clean sandpaper:
Set conveyor to thickness of cleaning pad.
1.
Run pad through sander two or three times,
2.
as shown in Figure 32. DO NOT take too
deep of a cut—the sandpaper should barely
touch cleaning pad!
