Maintenance
Before doing maintenance on
the machine, disconnect it from the electrical
supply. Failure to comply may cause serious
injury.
Periodically check both drums. The drums are
made of rubber material and may experience
wear after a long period of use, at which time
they should be replaced.
The sander should be cleaned frequently.
Check all screws, hex nuts, and other fasteners
to make sure they are tight.
Check condition of sanding belt. If belt is worn,
replace it.
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in
any way, have it replaced immediately.
The table should be kept clean and free of rust.
If rust appears on the table, use 000 steel wool
with a paste mixture of household ammonia and
good commercial detergent (or use a
commercial rust remover available from most
hardware and tool supply stores).
Some users coat their table surface with a light
coat of paste wax. (Do not get paste wax on the
sanding belt.) Another option is to apply talcum
powder to the table surface and rub it in briskly
with a clean blackboard eraser. This will also
maintain a slick surface, and will not stain wood.
Lubrication
All ball bearings are sealed for life and do not
require further lubrication.
