Maintenance and troubleshooting.
Note. When conducting maintenance, disconnect the machine from the
electricity and the air supply.
General.
Keep your machine clean. At the end of each day, clean the machine. If
dust is not removed, it will cause rust. In general, we recommend that you
only use a Teflon-based lubricant.
Regular oil attracts dust and dirt. Teflon lubricant tends to dry and has
fewer tendencies to accumulate dirt and dust.
Weekly (Daily in heavy work environments).
1. Check that all nuts and bolts are tight.
2. Check the sanding belt for damage and wear.
3. Check cables for wear, damage, or cuts.
4. Empty the two water traps.
5. Remove any excessive dust and check the dust extraction system for
blockages.
6. Grease the bearings.
Monthly.
1. All the above.
2. Cover the table adjustment screws with grease. Ensure that the rubber
covers are replaced once greasing has been completed.
3. Grease the table lifting chain.
After the first 100 hours of operation, replace the oil in the conveyor drive
gear box. Repeat the oil change every 2,500 hours. Recommended oil 90
wt. gear oil.
Drive V-belts.
The drive belts should last for a long time (depending on the usage) but
need to be inspected regularly for cracks, cuts and general wear. If damage
is found, replace the belts.
The belts come factory set, but they should be checked for tension after
about 8 hours of use. The belts could need to be re-tensioned, as they will
have bedded into the “V” grooves.
Note.
The sanding head motor has multiple belts. They are matched, so if
one belt requires replacement, you must replace all the belts with a
matched set. If all the belts are not replaced, this will cause vibration and
could put excessive strain on the motor and bearings. Not replacing all the
belts will also cause the belts to wear out very quickly, as they are not all
the same length and will slip.
