Failure to routinely inspect your drum sander for damage and wear could result in unsatis- factory work results, premature component or machinery failure, or operator injury. We recommend you create a checklist for routine inspection and maintenance. Remember to always disconnect the drum sander from its power source before attempting to inspect, adjust, or repair this machine!
