General Cleaning

based cleaner to clean a painted or plastic
surface, or the rubber conveyor belt. If you do,
you will permanently ruin the surface.
To clean dust from the sander, do these steps:
1. Unplug the double drum sander.
2. Put on your safety glasses and dust mask.
3. Turn the dust collector ON, and use a hand
brush and vacuum or compressed air to
carefully blow out built up sawdust.
4. With the dust collector OFF, dampen a cloth
with warm water and mild dish soap, and wipe
dusty surfaces clean.
To clean grease from the sander, do these steps:
1. Unplug the double drum sander.
2. Use mineral spirits to remove the excess
grease on the metal parts, and follow all
manufacturer’s safety warnings.
3. Coat the cleaned metal surface with an
application of SLIP-IT ® .
For long term storage you may want to
consider products like Boeshield ® T-9 .
