MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Frequently blow-off sawdust with compressed air. This is especially important for the internal working parts and motor. Dust build-up around the motor is a sure way to decrease its life span.

Occasionally it will become necessary to clean the internal parts with more than compressed air. To do this, remove the table top and clean the internal parts with a citrus cleaner or mineral spirits and a stiff wire brush or steel wool. Make sure the internal workings are dry before using the sander again, so that wood dust will not accumulate. If any essential lubrication is removed during cleaning, re-lubricate those areas.

Table & Base

Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applications of a product like SLIPIT®. For long term storage you may want to consider a product like Boeshield T-9™.
