General Cleaning

Cleaning the Model G0716 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up on the sanding drum, remove the sandpaper strip and use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove the resin. Clean the conveyor belt with soapy water.

Cleaning Sandpaper

Lubrication

The bearings on the Model G0716 have been lubricated and sealed at the factory. No other care of these bearings is necessary unless they need replacement.

Periodically, depending upon usage, clean away and sawdust or grime from the elevation leadscrew and the sanding head slides (see Figure 29), then apply a small amount of dry lubricant, such as graphite. Move the sanding head through its full range of motion to distribute the lubricant.

Note: Do not use grease or oil lubricants that will attract and hold the sawdust.

When the sandpaper strip becomes loaded with built-up sawdust and gum, run a sandpaper cleaner pad through the machine several times along the full length of the sanding drum until the sandpaper is clean (see Page 28 for an option from Grizzly).
