Maintenance Tips
-
Clean After Each Use: Remove dust and debris from the belt, disc, table, and motor housing to maintain smooth operation.
-
Inspect Belts and Discs: Check for wear, fraying, or glazing; replace sanding belts and discs when worn to ensure consistent sanding results.
-
Check Belt Tracking and Tension: Adjust the sanding belt so it tracks straight and maintains proper tension to avoid slippage or uneven sanding.
-
Protect the Table Surface: Apply a light coat of paste wax to the cast-iron table for smooth stock movement and rust prevention.
-
Avoid Bearing Lubrication: Bearings are factory-sealed; extra lubrication is not needed and may damage the sander.
-
Disconnect Power Before Maintenance: Always unplug the sander before cleaning, adjusting, or replacing belts/discs.
