Routine Maintenance

The following items need to be periodically inspected and maintained to keep your sander in good working condition.

Sanding Chamber

Periodically blow out the sanding chamber to prevent accumulations of debris which could interfere with the performance of the tension roller.

Wheels

Periodically remove the debris from the truck and caster wheels. Debris can cause waves on a sanded surface.

Dust Bag

Remove the dust bag from the machine and shake it thoroughly to remove the sanding dust. Turn the dust bag inside out and machine wash in cold water to prevent pore blockage and loss of dust recovery.

Drive Belt

Periodically check the drive belt tension. See the adjustment procedure on page 6.
