If the sanding belt breaks, all movement will be
stopped, though the conveyor table can still be
raised or lowered.
Once the machine has stopped, the operator
should find where the braking system was
tripped, and make the necessary adjustments.
The machine can then be re-set and started.
Maintenance
Before doing any
maintenance on the sander, disconnect it
from the electrical supply by pulling out the
plug or switching off the main switch.
Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
The interior of the machine should be thoroughly
cleaned each day after using the sander.
Remove the sanding belt before cleaning and
re-install it when finished.
Keep the sanding belt clean using cleaning
sticks or pads (not provided).
Blow dust off the conveyor belt with compressed
air or use a dust collector vacuum attachment.
The bearings should be greased after every 150
work hours.
The water should be removed daily from inside
the filter cups. On the filter/regulator at the back
of the cabinet, press the drain cock (see Figure
2). On the filter inside the cabinet, unscrew the
cup to empty it.
The oil inside the gear reducer should be
replaced after the first 100 work hours and every
2500 work hours thereafter. Recommended oil is
#90 gear oil. Pour oil into the filler hole until the
level is above the dot on the sight glass. See
Figure 22.
