-20- G1183/1276 Combination Sander
SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
Tables
The tables and other non-painted surfaces on the
Model G1183 and G1276 should be protected
against rust and pitting. Wiping the sander clean
after every use ensures that moisture from wood
dust isn’t allowed to trap moisture against bare
metal surfaces.
Some woodworkers recommend using automo-
tive paste wax on exposed steel and cast iron
surfaces. The wax provides a layer of protection,
as well as reducing friction between lumber and
the table, making cuts faster and smoother. Avoid
waxes that contain silicone or other synthetic
ingredients. These materials can find their way
into lumber that’s being worked, and can make
staining and finishing difficult. If you use paste
wax, make sure that it’s 100% Carnauba wax.
The Combination Sander is ruggedly constructed
to provide years of dependable service. To
ensure that you enjoy maximum performance
and longevity, we suggest the following routine
maintenance:
1. Check all fasteners for tightness before
each use. Tighten when necessary.
2. Keep the Combination Sander clean for
maximum efficiency and heat dissipation.
Wipe away accumulated sanding dust and
grime after each use.
3. Inspect sanding disc and belt for excessive
wear and damage. Replace if necessary.
4. Inspect switches and cord periodically for
wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
5. Bearings are sealed and permanently lubri-
cated, so no lubrication is needed. Check
for wear periodically and replace when
worn. Increased motor noise and vibration
are both indicators of bearing wear.
6. Inspect roller drive bearings for wear.
Replace if needed.
General

adjustments. Failure to do so could result
in serious operator injury.
