Servicing Separators
To increase working life of your sanding belts, we
recommend that you routinely clean them with a
Pro-Stik
® Cleaning Pad shown in Figure 33 .
To clean the belts, simply set your table to the
thickness of the cleaning pad and run the pad
through the sander two or three times.
DO NOT
take too deep of a cut. The belt should barely
touch the cleaning pad!
Clean sanding belts whenever they decrease in
performance due to heavy loading.
• After every 20-40 hours of use, lubricate
the elevation screws, chains, sprockets,
and the table guides under the table with
a light coating of white lithium grease.
