General Cleaning

DO NOT use a mineral-spirit solvent or chlorine- based cleaner to clean a painted or plastic surface, or the rubber conveyor belt. If you do, you will permanently ruin the surface.

To clean dust from the sander, do these steps:

1.Unplug the double drum sander.

2.Put on your safety glasses and dust mask.

3.Turn the dust collector ON, and use a hand brush and vacuum or compressed air to carefully blow out built up sawdust.

4.With the dust collector OFF, dampen a cloth with warm water and mild dish soap, and wipe dusty surfaces clean.

To clean grease from the sander, do these steps:

1.Unplug the double drum sander.

2.Use mineral spirits to remove the excess grease on the metal parts, and follow all manufacturer’s safety warnings.

3.Coat the cleaned metal surface with an application of SLIP-IT® .

For long term storage you may want to consider products like Boeshield® T-9 .

4.Lubricate as outlined in the Lubrication procedures on Page 30.
