• Monthly. Pull the dust cover down and apply a
generous amount of multi-purpose automotive grease
to the table elevation screws (Figure 25) . Be sure to
re-position the dust covers when finished.
Remove the left lower side panel to access the table
lifting mechanism. Apply multi-purpose automotive
grease to the chain and gears associated with the
table lifting mechanism ( Figure 26). Be careful to
not get grease on the V-belts. This could cause them
to slip off of the pulleys. If you do, replace them.
• Yearly. Replace the internal white moisture filters
on the air regulator.
• After the First 100 Hours: Replace the conveyor
gear reducer oil ( Figure 27 ) after the first 100
working hours of operation. We recommend 90 Wt.
gear oil.
• Every 2500 Hours: After the first conveyor gear
reducer oil change, replace the oil after every 2500
working hours of operation. We recommend 90 Wt.
gear oil.

Cleaning Sanding Belts
To increase the working life of your sanding belts, clean
them whenever they decrease in performance due to
heavy loading. Use a Model D3003 Pro-Stik ® Cleaning Pad
as shown in Figure 28.
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!
Cleaning Feed Belt
Vacuum or sweep dust off the feed belt with compressed
air. Use a diluted solution of mild dish cleaning soap and
water with a clean rag to remove resin from the belt. Do
NOT use solvent cleaners or harsh chemicals.
