DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY

Lift the edge of the disc and, gripping firmly, peel the disc away from the plate; turning the plate

as required to free the entire disc.

Remove and throw away. If you have been extremely fortunate all the adhesive will have been

removed with the disc. As this is rarely the case, be prepared to rub, scrape, pick etc., to remove

all the odd patches of adhesive and render the plate CLEAN. Fit the new sanding disc as detailed

in the instruction "Assembly".

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.

Remove the belt and check there is no

dust or resin build up on the drums or

at the edges of the platen.

At reasonable intervals, turn the sander

on it side and remove the ventilation

plate by undoing the three securing

screws, (See figs 26 & 27) inspect and

remove all dust/resin build ups, and

blow the motor clean.

Remove the lower sanding disc guard,

the dust deflector and the extraction

port mou lding, remove any build up's

and clean them thoroughly to allow the

dust to travel over their surfaces

smoothly.

Remove the drive belt cover and check

that the belt is not frayed, worn or

loose. (See figs 28,29) Replace all

guards and covers, etc., Reconnect to

the supply and start up the machine,

check that nothing has disturbed the

tracking.
