MAINTENANCE
MAKE SURE THE SANDER HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE.
DO NOT OPERATE THE SANDER WITH A DAMAGED SWITCH, POWER CORD, PLUG, OR OTHER PARTS. REPLACE A DAMAGED PART
IMMEDIATELY.
• Keep the machine CLEAN and FREE OF DUST. Vacuum or brush off any loose debris and wipe down the machine
and the tables occasionally with a damp rag.
• Drums must always be kept clean. Dirt on drums will cause poor tracking and belt slippage.
• Periodically inspect the ON/OFF switch, power cord, plug and other parts for damage.
