carried out on the machine. Most prudent maintenance
is preventative and concerned with keeping the machine
clean.
• At reasonable intervals, inspect and remove all dust/resin
build up using a class ‘M’ vacuum cleaner.
• Open all the guarding, clean any dust or resin build up,
inspect the sanding belt for signs of wear and tear and

over the work tables and
place a dust sheet over the
sander, see fig 27
