Cleaning
Because sanders produce more saw dust than
most other woodworking machines, extra care
must be taken to vacuum off areas that accu-
mulate dust. If left to build up, the saw dust will
work its way into the motor, bearings, and all
other parts of the machine. Eventually the saw
dust will begin to cause damage to the internal
workings of the sander.
If any part of the sander becomes difficult to
operate, it is most likely caused by an accumu-
lation of saw dust. Immediately investigate the
area and remove the saw dust.
