MAINTENANCE
To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to
the blade, the V-belt must be in good condition (free from
cracks, fraying and wear) and properly aligned and ten-
sioned (refer to the instructions on Page 38).
V-Belts
Cleaning the Model W1755 is relatively easy. Vacuum
excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remain-
ing dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a
resin dissolving cleaner to remove it.
Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the table by
wiping the table clean after every use—this ensures mois-
ture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal sur-
faces.
Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of a quality
metal protectant.
