Cleaning
Lubrication
The bearings are factory lubricated and sealed
and require no further lubrication. Simply leave
them alone unless they need replacement.
The devices that do require lubrication are the
elevation dovetail way and gears. Keep these
devices adequately lubricated so that elevation
adjustments move smoothly.
To lubricate the elevation gibs:
1. DISCONNECT THE SANDER FROM
POWER!
2. Raise and lower the sanding cabinet to
access the entire length of the front and rear
dovetail way (see
Figure 29).
3. Clean off any debris from the dovetail way
and apply a thin coat of light machine oil.
4. Move the sanding cabinet through its entire
range of motion to evenly distribute the oil.
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person

al injury.
