WARNING: Make certain that the unit is disconnected from
power source before attempting to service or remove any
component.
CLEANING
Keep machine and workshop clean. Do not allow sawdust to
accumulate on the tool Keep the drums clean. Dirt on drums
will cause poor tracking and beti slippage. Periodically empty
the dust collection bag.
Be certain motor is kept clean and is fraquentiy vacuumed
free of dust.
Use soap and water to clean painted parts, rubber parts and
plastic guards.
LUBRICATION
The shielded ball bearings in this tool are permanently
lubricated at the factory.They require no further lubrication.
• When operation seems stiff, a fightcoat of paste wax
applied to the table will make it easier to feed the work
while finishing.
• Do not apply wax to the belt platen. Belt could pick up wax
and deposit it on wheels causing belt to slip.
KEEP TOOL IN REPAIR
• If power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately.
• Replace worn abrasives when needed.
• Replace any damaged or missing parts. Use parts list to
order parts.
Any attempt to repair motor may create a hazard unless
repair is done by a qualified service technician. Repair
service is available at your nearest Sears store,
SYMPTOM
Motor willnot start
,,lotor will not start;

victor stalls (resulting in
blown fuses or tripped
circuit breakers)
Machine slows down
while operating
Abrasive belt runs off top
wheel
