Maintenance
Before doing maintenance on the machine, disconnect it from the electrical supply. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
Periodically check both drums. The drums are made of rubber material and may experience wear after a long period of use, at which time they should be replaced.
The sander should be cleaned frequently.
Check all screws, hex nuts, and other fasteners to make sure they are tight.
Check condition of sanding belt. If belt is worn, replace it.
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
The table should be kept clean and free of rust. If rust appears on the table, use 000 steel wool with a paste mixture of household ammonia and good commercial detergent (or use a commercial rust remover available from most hardware and tool supply stores).
Some users coat their table surface with a light coat of paste wax. (Do not get paste wax on the sanding belt.) Another option is to apply talcum powder to the table surface and rub it in briskly with a clean blackboard eraser. This will also maintain a slick surface, and will not stain wood.
Lubrication
All ball bearings are sealed for life and do not require further lubrication.
