Keep threaded rods,
, and gears,
, located at either end of the machine greased and free of dust or debris.

coating of any common automotive bearing grease. (Fig. 8)
LUBRICATION
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
1.
Inspect/test the ON/OFF switches before each use. Do not operate the sander with a damaged switch; replace
a damaged switch immediately.
2.
Keep the machine, especially motor and conveyor, as well as the feed table conveyor clean and free of dust
or glue. Vacuum or brush off any loose debris and wipe down the machine and the conveyor occasionally
with a damp rag.
3.
The drums must always be kept clean. Dirt on the drums will cause belt slippage.
4.
The motor and drum bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated – no further lubrication is required.
5.
Periodically inspect the power cord and plug for damage, as well as the sanding belts, the drums, the motor
pulleys, drive belts and the conveyor belt.
