MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Wipe off all sawdust and abrasives from grease fittings
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, causing machine parts to bind.
Lubricate the following areas according to frequency of
use:
Weekly.
Give one or two pumps of a multi-purpose
automotive grease to the grease fittings (
Figure 23 & 24
)
located on the feed belt roller axles and the sanding belt
roller axles. They are identified with yellow labels.
Regular periodic maintenance on your machine will ensure
its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your
machine each time you use it.
Check for the following conditions and repair or
replace when necessary:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Damaged sanding belt.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Water collection cups filled with water.
• Dust trap.
• Safety features.
•
Any other condition that could hamper the safe
operation of this machine.
