CLEANING
Keep machine and workshop clean. Do not allow sawdust to
accumulate on the tool. Keep the drums clean. Dirt on drums
will cause poor tracking and belt slippage. Periodically empty
the dust collection bag.
Be certain motor is kept clean and is frequently vacuumed
free of dust.
Use soap and water to clean painted parts, rubber parts and
plastic guards.
LUBRICATION
The shielded ball bearings in this tool are permanently
lubricated at the factory. They require no further lubrication.
• When operation seems stiff, a light coat of paste wax
applied to the belt table and disc table will make it easier to
feed the work while finishing.
• Do not apply wax to the belt platen. Belt could pick up wax
and deposit it on wheels causing belt to slip.
KEEP TOOL

• Replace any damaged or missing parts. Use parts list to
order parts.
