Maintenance
WHEEL MAINTENANCE
These wheels are maintenance free from truing
and dressing but will need to be cleaned peri-
odically.
Disconnect the power from the
machine using a lock out tag out pro-
cedure.
After removing the wheel from the
sharpener, saturate the wheel with any type of
oil-less solvent, such as Automotive Brake
Cleaner. It is helpful to use a soft bristle brush
and lightly brush the saturated wheel, loosen-
ing the impacted grinding particles. Re-saturate
the wheel to flush out any loosened debris. Do
not use any type of dressing tool on these
wheels. Damage to surface will occur and
greatly shorten the wheel life.
NOTE: If after cleaning wheel, the drills still
discolor or burn, the wheel life may be ex-
hausted and the wheel will need to be re-
placed.
CHUCK MAINTENANCE
The use of a dust extraction system during
grinding will help reduce the amount of mainte-
nance, however, the chuck assembly should be
disassembled and cleaned periodically. See XT-
3000 instruction manual for detailed disassem-
bly instructions.
GRIT TRAY
At the back of the XT-3000 machine, located
underneath the grinding motor is the grit tray.
Drill grindings will accumulate inside the grit
tray. The grit tray has
a magnetic liner to
attract and hold these
dust particles. Do not
let the tray become
more than 1/3 full. To
remove tray, unscrew
brass thumb screw.
Remove tray and
dump contents. Wipe
excess dust from the
tray with a rag.
Darex recommends the use of a dust ex-
traction system when the Auto Attach-
ment is in use.
