as required to free the entire disc.

removed with the disc. As this is rarely the case, be prepared to rub, scrape, pick etc., to remove

all the odd patches of adhesive and render the plate CLEAN. Fit the new sanding disc as detailed

in “STEP 5 Sanding Disc and Table Assembly”.

There is very little mechanical maintenance that can be carried out on the machine. Most prudent

maintenance is preventative and concerned with keeping the machine clean.

1. Remove the belt and check there is no dust or resin build up on the drums or at the edges of

the platen.

2. At reasonable intervals, turn the sander on it side to inspect and remove all dust/resin build

ups, and blow the motor clean (See ﬁg 56).

3. Remove the dust extraction moulding (C) and the workstop plate (H), remove any dust or resin

build up and clean them thoroughly to allow the dust to travel over their surfaces smoothly.

4. Remove the table (E), the disc plate (G) and plastic disc guard moulding (F). Check the

condition of the drive belt (a) is not frayed, worn or loose (See ﬁg 57). Replace all guards and

covers, etc., Reconnect to the supply and start up the machine, check that nothing has

disturbed the tracking.
