MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE

TURN-OFF and LOCK your master power switch when performing maintenance, so no power is available to the sander! If you ignore this warning serious electrical shock may occur causing injury or death!

General

Regular maintenance on your Model W1709 will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it. And at the end of the day remove the sanding belt and clean the back side of the sanding belt and the drums. Also vacuum wood and abrasive dust from the inside of the machine.

Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary:

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Worn switches.

•Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

•Damaged belts.

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

•Check the entire air system for leaks.

Lubrication

Wipe off all sawdust and abrasives on grease zerks and plugs before lubrication. When lubricating machine parts, your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication to prevent rust, and a thin layer of lubricant to prevent metal- to-metal friction. Too much lubrication will attract dirt and sawdust, and as a result, these parts could lose freedom of movement.

•After 150 hours of use lubricate the bearings with one squirt of automotive- grade grease at the designated points, see Figure 31.

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