Maintenance

Before doing maintenance on the machine, disconnect it from the electrical supply by pulling out the plug or switching off the main switch! Failure to comply may cause serious injury.

Keeping the Machine Clean

For best results, make cleaning the machine a regular shop procedure. Allowing excess build- up of dust and debris can adversely affect performance through the loading of the abrasives, slippage on the conveyor table, and/or the accumulation of material inside the drums which can throw off the center of balance. Leave the dust collector on when cleaning dust from the drums. Also brush the conveyor belt after cleaning operations. If not cleaned, the conveyor belt could allow stock to slip during sanding operations.

For best results, perform the following recommended procedures on a monthly basis:

•Lubricate conveyor bushings and check for wear.

•Lubricate all moving parts, such as threaded rods, washers, and column tubes. (Bearings are pre-sealed and require no lubrication.)

•Clean sawdust from the abrasive strip and brush dust from the conveyor belt.

•Blow dust from motors and switches. Blow dust from inside of sanding drum, which may cause vibration or offset the center of balance.

•Check all set screws for tightness on parts such as table supports, bearings, conveyor coupler, castings, pulleys and miter gears.
