SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.
For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Ongoing
To minimize your risk of injury and maintain proper
machine operation, shut down the machine imme-
diately if you ever observe any of the items below,
and fix the problem before continuing operations:
•
Loose hardware.
•
Damaged sanding sleeve.
•
Worn or damaged wires.
•
Any other unsafe condition.
Weekly Maintenance:
•
Clean/vacuum dust buildup from beneath the
table.
Every 1000 hours of use:
•
Drain and replace gear oil (
Page 28).
Schedule
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them, as
this will only attract dust and result in possible
premature bearing failure.
DO NOT oil any exposed areas on the sander.
Dust will be attracted to these areas, creating a
gummy mixture that will hamper proper move-
ment of components. Instead, lubricate exposed
areas with dry, powdered graphite.
Lubrication
Cleaning the Model G1071 is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any
resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner
to remove it.
Protect the unpainted cast iron table by wiping
it clean after every use—this ensures moisture
from wood dust does not remain on bare metal
surfaces. Keep the table rust-free with regular
applications of quality products like G96
®
Gun
Treatment, SLIPIT
®
, or Boeshield
®
T-9.
