NOTICE
Contrary to some beliefs, worn abrasives
are not the equivalent the next finer grit
abrasive. Discard worn sanding sleeves and
avoid the temptation to use them beyond
their usable life.
Keep the table and other unpainted surfaces
rust-free with regular applications of products
like Boeshield ® T-9. For long term storage con-
sider products like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.
Table and Base
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
For other items on this machine, such as the
quill, table and column, an occasional applica-
tion of light machine oil is all that is necessary.
Before applying lubricant, clean off sawdust and
metal chips.
Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too
much lubrication will attract dirt and sawdust.
Various parts of your machine could loose their
freedom of movement as a result.

3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4. Damaged drive belts.
5. Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
NEVER adjust or service
the machine while it is
running. Wait until the
machine is turned off,
unplugged and all working
parts have come to a stop
before proceeding!
General
MAINTENANCE
As sanding drums are used, the abrasive sleeve
will quickly become "loaded" with sawdust. If
not removed, this sawdust will harden on the
abrasive surface, rendering the sleeve useless.
Routinely clean the sanding sleeve with a rubber
gum abrasive cleaner like the PRO-STIK® clean-
ers, as shown on Page 30.
Always discard worn sanding sleeves. As abrasive
sleeves begin to wear, grit will begin to fall off
and cause gouges in the workpiece. Glue used to
hold the grit to the paper will rub off onto the
workpiece interfering with the final finish.
