SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Before & During Operation:
•
loose mounting bolts.
• damaged, excessively worn, or clogged
sandpaper.
• Worn or damaged switch or wires.
• excessive dust build-up.
• efficiency of the dust collection system.
• any other unsafe condition.
Schedule
Cleaning the model g1183/g1276 is relatively
easy. vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust,
and wipe off the remaining 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 moisture from wood dust does not
remain on bare metal surfaces. then apply a non-
staining rust preventative that does not contain
silicone or oil.
Cleaning &
protecting Machine
all bearings on the sander are permanently lubri-
cated and sealed, and they need no further atten-
tion unless they require replacement.
Lubrication
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
failure to do this may result
in serious personal injury.
Cleaning Sandpaper
When the sandpaper surface becomes clogged
with resin or gummy sawdust, the efficiency of the
sanding operation is significantly reduced and can
leave glazed or gouge marks in the workpiece.
regularly clean the belt and disc sandpaper by
using crepe-rubber cleaners (see
Accessories
on page 31 for options from grizzly).
