SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

GeneralTables

The Combination Sander is ruggedly constructed to provide years of dependable service. To ensure that you enjoy maximum performance and longevity, we suggest the following routine maintenance:

1.Check all fasteners for tightness before each use. Tighten when necessary.

2.Keep the Combination Sander clean for maximum efficiency and heat dissipation. Wipe away accumulated sanding dust and grime after each use.

3.Inspect sanding disc and belt for excessive wear and damage. Replace if necessary.

4.Inspect switches and cord periodically for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.

5.Bearings are sealed and permanently lubri- cated, so no lubrication is needed. Check for wear periodically and replace when worn. Increased motor noise and vibration are both indicators of bearing wear.

6.Inspect roller drive bearings for wear. Replace if needed.

DO NOT make adjustments or attempt any maintenance procedures while this machine is running. Ensure that the switch is off, power is disconnected and all mov- ing parts have stopped before making adjustments. Failure to do so could result in serious operator injury.

The tables and other non-painted surfaces on the Model G1183 and G1276 should be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the sander clean after every use ensures that moisture from wood dust isn’t allowed to trap moisture against bare metal surfaces.

Some woodworkers recommend using automo- tive paste wax on exposed steel and cast iron surfaces. The wax provides a layer of protection, as well as reducing friction between lumber and the table, making cuts faster and smoother. Avoid waxes that contain silicone or other synthetic ingredients. These materials can find their way into lumber that’s being worked, and can make staining and finishing difficult. If you use paste wax, make sure that it’s 100% Carnauba wax.
