Maintenance
FIRST DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM ITS AC POWER SOURCE.
●
Vacuum or otherwise remove dust and debris build-up regularly from the machine.
●
Check hex head bolts on arbor cap for tightness
●
Check brush for damage and wear
There are no other maintenance actions required. All bearings are sealed for life and require no lubrication.

Remember for operator safety and the continued effectiveness of your Model 1051:
Do not defeat the safety guards and other safety provisions of the Model 1051.
Do not reach inside the safety guards while the machine is running. To do so is hazardous.
Do not use fluids in your finishing process unless your Model 1051 is designed for liquid operation
(NEMA 4, 4X). To do so may create an electrical safety hazard.
Do not use your Model 1051 to polish explosive materials unless it is equipped with explosion proof
electrical devices and motor.
Do not use stone or vitreous wheels on the Model 1051. To do so will create an operator safety hazard.
Do use eye, hand, face, arm, leg, feet and body protection that is adequate to protect against flying debris,
forcibly ejected work pieces, etc.
Do use ear protection and a dust/particle mask.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing that might become entangled in the rotating wheels, or shafts.
Do train operators and others in safe operating practices.
Do not touch rotating brushes,wheels,etc..
Additional safety warnings for the M1051 machine:
Danger: A gap (nip point) exists between the face of the finishing wheel and the
steel work support. This gap is necessary for the operation of the machine;
however, it does create a nip point that can cause serious bodily injury. KEEP
CLEAR OF THIS GAP.
Wire wheels can and do shed wire particles that can puncture skin and other
body tissue. Never operate this machine without using proper personnel
protection. Consult with your safety officer!
Post these or equivalent instructions such they are available for ready operator reference.

TIP: Pressure
Avoid excessive pressure when using a wire brush. Excessive pressure causes over-bending
of the filaments and heat build-up resulting in filament breakage, rapid dulling and reduced
brush life. Instead of greater pressure, try a brush with more aggressive action (increase
filament diameter, decrease trim length, different brush type, i.e.: knot type instead of
crimped type. *
