MAINTENANCE
WARNING: For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before
adjusting or performing maintenance on the belt/spindle sander.
Before using, check to make sure parts are not damaged, missing, or worn. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, improper mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the sander’s safe operation.
If any of these conditions exist, do not use the sander until parts are replaced or the sander is properly repaired.
Frequently blow or vacuum dust from all sanding parts and motor housing.
WARNING: This machine creates a lot of dust. Inhaling said dust on a regular basis can cause permanent respi-
ratory illness. Minimize your exposure by wearing a respirator and using a dust collector. If you do not use some
method of dust extraction or collection, the motor could overheat and fail. Failure to use some method of dust
extraction or collection will void the warranty.
WARNING: Any attempt to repair or replace electrical parts on this tool may be hazardous. Repairs should be
done by a qualified service technician.
Clean the machine regularly, vacuuming excess wood chips and saw dust and wiping down the remaining dust
with a cloth. If resin accumulates, clean it with a resin-dissolving cleaning agent.
Check the drive belts for damage and wear once a month. Make sure they are properly tensioned, especially after
times of heavy usage.
