After every 20-40 hours of use, lubricate the elevation screws, chains, sprockets, and the table guides under the table with a light coating of white lithium grease. See Figure 32.

Cleaning Belts

To increase working life of your sanding belts, we recommend that you routinely clean them with a Pro-Stik®Cleaning Pad shown in Figure 33.

To clean the belts, simply set your table to the thickness of the cleaning pad and run the pad through the sander two or three times. DO NOT take too deep of a cut. The belt should barely touch the cleaning pad!

Clean sanding belts whenever they decrease in performance due to heavy loading.

Servicing Separators

The moisture bowl on the regulator needs to be emptied and cleaned whenever it gets more than half full. See Figure 34.
