SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious person- al injury.

Schedule

For safe and optimum performance from a machine that is used on a daily basis, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section.

Daily Checks and Maintenance:

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Damaged sanding belt.

•Worn switch.

•Worn or damaged cords or plugs.

•Damaged V-belts.

•Any other unsafe condition.

•Oil the feed belt roller and drive bushings.

•Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabi- net and off of the motor.

DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust the machine while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned OFF, unplugged, and all working parts have stopped moving before you do anything!

G0458 18" Open End Belt/Drum Sander

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model G0458 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess sawdust, and wipe off the remain- ing dust with a dry cloth.

Lubrication

The feed belt bushings should be lubricated daily with a light machine oil. Lubricate the chains and gears with a high-quality, lithium-based grease. The bearings do not need lubrication.

Avoid using excess lubrication. Too much lubri- cant attracts sawdust and will clog the chain.

Bushings: Must be oiled daily or each time the sander is used. Oil the bushings on each end of the feed belt rollers and remove the pulley cover and oil the drive bushings (see Figure 27).
