Weekly

Grease the grease fittings located on the feed belt roller axles and the sanding belt roller axles with Gear Lube-2 (GL-2) or automotive grease. They are identified with yellow labels.

Monthly

Apply a generous amount of GL-2 grease to the table elevation screws. Be sure to recover the adjustment screws with the dust covers when finished.

Remove the lower side panel to access the table lifting mechanism. Apply GL-2 grease to the chain and gears associated with the table lifting mecha- nism. Be careful to not get grease on the V-belts. This could cause them to slip off of the pulleys.

Yearly

Replace the internal white moisture filters.
