American Sanders
EZ - 8 Sander Operator's Manual
Routine Maintenance
The following items need to be periodically inspected
and maintained to keep your sander in good working
condition.
Sanding Chamber
Periodically blow out the sanding chamber to prevent
large accumulations of debris which could interfere
with the performance of the dust recovery system.
Wheels
Periodically remove the debris from the truck and
caster wheels. Debris can cause waves on a sanded
surface.
Dust Bag
Remove the dust bag from the machine and shake it
thoroughly to remove the sanding dust from the dust
bag. Turn the dust bag inside out and machine wash
in cold water to prevent pore blockage and loss of
dust recovery.
Drive Belt
Periodically check the drive belts for broken cogs or
frayed edges. Frayed edges may indicate poor
tracking. Realign effected belt.
Bearings
Periodically check the bearings for wear or
damage according to the following schedule:
