MAINTENANCE

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model W1708 will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your sander each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary.

1.Loose mounting bolts.

2.Worn switch.

3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4.Damaged sanding disc.

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

Table

Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applications of products like Boeshield® T-9. For long term storage you may want to consider products like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.

Lubrication

Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.

For other items on this machine, an occasional application of light machine oil is all that is necessary. Before applying lubricant, wipe the machine clean.

Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too much lubrication will attract dirt and sawdust. Various parts of your machine could lose their freedom of movement as a result.

!Disconnect power to the machine when performing

any maintenance, assembly or adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.
