MAINTENANCE
WARNING
: For your own safely, turn switch "OFF" and remove plug
from power source outlet before adjusting, maintaining, or lubricating
your belt and disc sander.
WARNING
: To avoid electrocution or fire, any repair to electrical
systems should be done by qualified service technicians. Unit must be
reassembled exactly to factory specifications.
If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged or any dust that may
accumulate inside the motor, have it replaced immediately. A coat of
automobile-type wax applied to the worktable will make it easier to feed
the work while finishing.
Do not apply wax to the abrasive belt table because the belt could pick
up the wax and deposit it on the pulleys, causing the belt to slip.
LUBRICATION
The
BALL BEARINGS
in this machine are packed with grease at the
factory. They require no further lubrication. Sleeve bearings should be
lubricated with 30W oil or equivalent after each 10 hours of operation-
see instructions below.
