Cleaning Sanding
Belts
To increase the working life of your sanding belts,
clean them whenever they decrease in perfor-
mance due to heavy loading. Use a Model H2845
Pro-Stik
®
Cleaning Pad as shown in
Figure 39 in
Accessories on Page 34.
To clean the belts:
1. DISCONNECT THE PLANER/SANDER
FROM THE POWER SOURCE!
2. Open the upper left access door, loosen the
cutterhead lock lever, move the cutterhead
assembly all the way up—so the cutterhead
will not cut the cleaning pad—then lock it in
place.
3. Set your table to the thickness of the cleaning
pad.
4. Connect power, then 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!
5. Reset the cutterhead to the 0mm position
after you clean the sanding belt.
Cleaning Feed Belt
Vacuum or sweep dust off the feed belt with
compressed air. Use a diluted solution of mild
dish cleaning soap and water with a clean rag to
remove wood resin from the belt. Do NOT use
solvent cleaners or harsh chemicals.
