Grizzly G0512 Maintenance, General, Lubrication, Bearings, Table Height Lead Screw

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

Disconnect power to the machine when perform- ing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in seri- ous personal injury.

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your Grizzly Edge Sander will ensure its optimum perfor- mance. Make a habit of inspecting your sander each time you use it. Check for the following con- ditions and repair or replace when necessary.

1.Loose mounting bolts.

2.Worn switch.

3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4.Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

Table

The laminate surface on the table can be wiped clean with a dry towel or cleaned with a solvent designed to remove wood resins if the table is gummy.

DO NOT expose the underside of the table to water because it may warp.

Lubrication

Bearings

Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.

Table Height Lead Screw

Wipe off built-up sawdust and lubricate with an occasional shot of white lithium grease. After lubricating, be sure to move the lead screw through the full range of motion that it can travel, so that the grease is spread evenly.

Sanding Belt

The sanding belt should be regularly cleaned as it becomes clogged with sawdust. Clean the sanding belt with PRO STIK® belt cleaners (Model G1511/G1512). Belts that are regularly cleaned have a much longer useful life, than belts that are neglected. See page 31 for more detail on PRO STIK™ belt cleaners.
