The graphite sheet on the platen will wear out with use. Similar to the sanding belts, the graphite sheet is considered a ÒconsumableÓ item and is not covered under the warranty. We recommend keeping replacements in your inventory to avoid downtime. To obtain replacements, use the part number in the back of this manual for ordering.

To replace the graphite sheet:

1.Pull the platen from its bracket with the included platen puller tool.

2.Remove the screws and hold-down bar that secure the graphite sheet to the platen.

3.Install the new graphite sheet exactly the reverse as removal. Make sure that the graphite sheet is wrapped in the same direc- tion as the old one.

The air system is durable and reliable; however, components do wear with age. If you suspect that an item in your air system may be having prob- lems, use the diagram on page 38 to follow all lines and connections, and use the instructions below to investigate.

¥Carefully inspect all air lines for cracks, tears or hardening. Replace faulty hoses.

¥Check the air connections for leaks. A small amount of water in a questionable area will bubble if there is a leak.

¥Make sure lines are not clogged. Remove a questionable line and blow through it as a test.

If you ever determine that a component in the air system is malfunctioning, DO NOT operate the sander. Fix the problem before resuming operation.
