Brake
Pull the brake handle until the pad contacts the
rotating disc.
Apply the brake only when the
switch is OFF (On the three-phase model, only
when the main switch is OFF, or the
Forward/Reverse switch is OFF). Damage to the
machine can occur if the brake is applied while
the switch is ON.
Maintenance
Before doing any 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.
The DS20 Sander requires minimal maintenance.
Periodically, make sure the rack and the trunnions
on both sides of the table (Figure 13) are lubricated
with a good grade, non-hardening grease.

The table surface must be kept clean and free of
rust for best results. If rust appears, remove it
using a mixture of household ammonia, a good
commercial detergent and #000 steel wool.
Alternatively, commercial rust removers can be
found at many hardware stores.
Apply a light, protective coating over the table,
such as paste wax. Products in aerosol form are
also available in hardware stores and supply
catalogs. Whatever method is chosen, the coating
should protect the metal and provide a smooth
surface, without staining the workpiece.
If the power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any
way, have it replaced immediately.
