MAINTENANCE
Your Edge Sander requires little maintenance. Cleaning
will increase the machine’s efficiency by removing grime
which can gum up moving parts. If you find that the
machine sands less efficiently than usual, inspect the
sanding belt and clean with a gum rubber belt cleaner
or replace as needed. An occasional application of
good quality paste wax (one that does not contain sili-
cone or other synthetics) will keep the sander tables
and other bare metal parts from rusting.
BEARINGS:
The sander features factory sealed bearings that
requires no lubrication during its lifetime.
Should a bearing fail, your sander will develop a notice-
able rumble, which will increase when the machine is
put under load. Bearings must be replaced when this
occurs.
GEAR BOX:
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCON-
NECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
Periodically lubricate the gears in the gear box using a
quality #2 grease or equivalent.
SANDING BELTS:
Sanding belts should be inspected periodically for wear
or damage. Damaged belts should be replaced before
further use.
MAKE CERTAIN THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED
FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
