Grizzly G1066 instruction manual Maintenance, General, Lubrication

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

Make a habit of inspecting your Model G1066/G1066Z/G1079 each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary.

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Worn switch.

•Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

•Damaged V-belt.

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

DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust any features of the machine while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged and all working parts have come to a rest before you do anything!

Lubrication

Bearing blocks must be lubricated every 20 hours of operation. Use a high-quality, lithium-based grease. The grease fittings are located on the top of each bearing block.

Other moving parts such as chains should be lubricated periodically with a light machine oil. Motor bearings need no lubrication.

Use only adequate lubrication. Too much lubri- cant will attract dirt and sawdust and will clog the chain mechanism.

Failure to routinely inspect your drum sander for damage and wear could result in unsatisfactory work results, premature com- ponent or machinery failure, or operator injury. We recommend you create a check- list 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!
