MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Wipe off all sawdust and abrasives on grease
zerks and plugs before lubrication. When
lubricating machine parts, your goal is to
achieve adequate lubrication to prevent rust,
and a thin layer of lubricant to prevent metal-
to-metal friction. Too much lubrication will
attract dirt and sawdust, and as a result, these
parts could lose freedom of movement.
• After 150 hours of use lubricate the
bearings with one squirt of automotive-
grade grease at the designated points,
see
Figure 31 .
• All other bearings are sealed and
permanently lubricated, simply leave
them alone until they need to be
replaced. Do not lubricate them.
Regular maintenance on your Model W1709 will
ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit
of inspecting your machine each time you use
it. And at the end of the day remove the
sanding belt and clean the back side of the
sanding belt and the drums. Also vacuum wood
and abrasive dust from the inside of the
machine.
Check for the following conditions and repair
or replace when necessary:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn switches.
• Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
• Damaged belts.
• Any other condition that could hamper
the safe operation of this machine.
• Check the entire air system for leaks.
