Maintenance
Before doing maintenance on
the machine, disconnect it from the electrical
supply by pulling out the plug or switching
off the main switch! Failure to comply may
cause serious injury.
Keeping the Machine Clean
For best results, make cleaning the machine a
regular shop procedure. Allowing excess build-
up of dust and debris can adversely affect
performance through the loading of the
abrasives, slippage on the conveyor table,
and/or the accumulation of material inside the
drums which can throw off the center of balance.
Leave the dust collector on when cleaning dust
from the drums. Also brush the conveyor belt
after cleaning operations. If not cleaned, the
conveyor belt could allow stock to slip during
sanding operations.
For best results, perform the following
recommended procedures on a monthly basis:
• Lubricate conveyor bushings and check for
wear.
• Lubricate all moving parts, such as threaded
rods, washers, and column tubes. (Bearings
are pre-sealed and require no lubrication.)
• Clean sawdust from the abrasive strip and
brush dust from the conveyor belt.
• Blow dust from motors and switches. Blow
dust from inside of sanding drum, which may
cause vibration or offset the center of
balance.
• Check all set screws for tightness on parts
such as table supports, bearings, conveyor
coupler, castings, pulleys and miter gears.
