MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Wipe off and lubricate the rack with general purpose
automotive grease often, and wipe a thin layer of motor
or machine oil on the table column (see Figure 22).
When lubricating machine parts, your goal is to achieve
adequate lubrication to prevent rust, and a thin layer
of lubricant to prevent metal-to-metal friction. Too
much lubrication will attract dirt and sawdust, causing
machine parts to bind.
Regular maintenance on your Model W1751 ensures
optimum performance. Inspect your machine each time
you use it. At the end of the day, remove the sanding
belt and clean the back-side of the sanding belt and the
drum surfaces. Remove wood and abrasive dusts from
the inside of the machine.
General
TURN OFF and LOCK the master
power switch when doing
maintenance so no power is
available to the sander! If you
ignore this warning serious
electrical shock or accidental
start may cause injury or death!

Empty the diaphragm dust bowl and air regulator
moisture bowl when they become half full, and make
sure that the regulator is maintaining the system air
pressure to 75 PSI (see Figure 24).
Maintaining Air System
To increase the working life of your sanding belts, clean
them whenever they decrease in performance due to
heavy loading. Use a Pro-Stik ® Cleaning Pad shown in
Figure 23. To clean the belts, simply set your table
to the thickness of the cleaning pad, and 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!
