SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
General
Lubrication
Bearing blocks must be lubricated every 20 hours
of operation. Use a high-quality, lithium-based
grease. The grease fittings are located on the top
of each bearing block.
Other moving parts such as chains should be
lubricated periodically with a light machine oil.
Motor bearings need no lubrication.
Use only adequate lubrication. Too much lubri-
cant will attract dirt and sawdust and will clog the
chain mechanism.
Make a habit of inspecting your Model
G1066/G1066Z/G1079 each time you use it.
Check for the following conditions and repair or
replace when necessary.
Loose mounting bolts.
Worn switch.
Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
Damaged V-belt.
Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
Failure to routinely inspect your drum
sander for damage and wear could result in
unsatisfactory work results, premature com-
ponent or machinery failure, or operator
injury. We recommend you create a check-
list for routine inspection and maintenance.
Remember to always disconnect the drum
sander from its power source before
attempting to inspect, adjust, or repair this

ing any adjustments or

do this may result in seri-
ous personal injury.

features of the machine while it is running.
