Maintenance

WARNING: For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and remove the plug from the

electrical outlet before adjusting or performing maintenance or lubrication work on the belt/disc

sander.

Before using, check to make sure parts are not damaged, missing, or worn; check for alignment of

moving parts, binding of moving parts, improper mounting, or any other conditions that may affect

the sander operation. Should any of these conditions exist, do not use the sander until properly

repaired or parts are replaced. Frequently blow or vacuum dust from all sanding parts and motor

housing.

WARNING: Any attempt to repair or replace electrical parts on this tool may be hazardous.

Repairs should be done by a qualified service technician.

Lubrication

Ball bearings are grease packed at the factory and require no further lubrication. Sleeve bearings on

both ends of the idler pulley should be oiled with 3 drops of 30 weight oil after each 10 hours of

operation. Use a spray lubricant on all moving table parts to ensure smooth operation.
