Gearbox Oil
The spindle gearbox contains 4.5 Qts. of 90 Wt.
gear oil. Replace the gear oil after the first two
hours of use, and then after approximately every
1000 hours of use. Remove the fill cap first, then
drain the gear oil from the drain plug located
inside the sander base at the bottom of the gear
box (see
Figure 35). The fill cap is shown in
Figure 36.

Sanding Sleeves
As sanding sleeves are used, they will become
"loaded" with saw dust. If not removed, this saw
dust will harden on the abrasive surface, greatly
reducing the effectiveness of the sanding sleeve.
Routinely clean the sanding sleeves with a rubber
gum abrasive cleaner such as the PRO-STIK
®
cleaners shown in
Figure 34.
Always discard worn sanding sleeves. As abra-
sives begin to wear, grit will begin to fall off, caus-
ing deep gouges in the workpiece. Glue used
to hold the grit to the paper will rub off onto the
workpiece, causing burns and interfering with the
final finishing.
