Dust and Water
Traps
There are two traps on this wide belt sander. One
water trap is attached to the bottom of the air
regulator, and the other trap is attached on the
air diaphragm assembly. Cleaning is easy, with
the system under air pressure, you can push the
lower drain valve and empty regulator water trap
(
Figure 21). Replace the internal white moisture
filter yearly. To empty the dust trap bowl, relieve
the air pressure and then unscrew and empty the
bowl (
Figure 22). DO NOT allow the water trap or
dust bowl to become full.

Sanding Belts
You can greatly increase the lifespan of your
sanding belts if you clean them often. As men-
tioned on
Page 25, cleaning pads are the fastest
way to remove saw dust build-up.
Air System
If a component in the air system is malfunc-
tioning, bleed all air from the system, and fix
the problem before you resume sanding.
The air system is durable and reliable; however,
components do wear with age. If you suspect that
an item in your air system may be having prob-
lems, see the air line circuit on
Page 35.
• Adjust regulator to 75 PSI.
• Carefully inspect all air lines for cracks, tears
or hardening. Replace faulty hoses.
• Check the air connections for leaks. A small
amount of soapy water in a questionable
area will bubble if there is a leak.
• Make sure lines are not clogged. Remove
a questionable line and blow through it as a
test.
Dust Trap
Bleed all air from the system before you
remove the dust bowl, or you may experi-
ence a cloud of wood dust.
