MAINTENANCE

OILING

The only part you need to oil on the All-U-Need 

machine is the inside of the 2" silver arbor. This is 

required because the motor shaft and arbor are 

made of different materials. Over time, they can 

seize together, making it impossible to remove 

the arbor. Every two months or so, remove the 

arbor by inserting the included Allen wrench into 

the set screw, turning counter-clockwise. Turn the 

arbor upside down. Apply a few drops of motor 

oil, way oil, lithium or water pump grease into 

the area where the arbor fits onto the shaft. Make 

sure there is no excess oil so that oil doesn’t drip 

down the motor shaft and get into the motor. 

This will cause an instant motor burn-out. When 

putting the arbor back onto the shaft, make sure 

the screw is positioned against the flat side of the 

motor shaft. If the screw is positioned against the 

rounded side of the shaft, it will make a squeak-

ing noise and create friction, causing the motor 

shaft to get hot. Once the arbor is positioned 

properly, check the set screw for tightness on the 

arbor using the Allen wrench. Do not over tighten 

the set screw, as you will need to remove it regu-

larly to clean the tray. The arbor may be adjusted 

up and down if necessary to keep the spinning 

disc below the black spray shield.

CLEANING

The All-U-Need is designed to be easily disas-

sembled for cleaning. After each use, rinse the 

black splash guard and flush out the white catch 

tray with clean water so the rock sediment can 

get washed down the drain tube. Any used water 

must not be disposed down a sink, as it can  

harden like cement, closing off the drain. Allow 

the machine to dry completely then store it in a 

safe place, away from children.

Note: When you are finished using the diamond lap 

disc and diamond smoothing discs, rinse and spin 

completely dry. Store them in a clean, dry plastic 

bag until next use. The maximum weight of any 

discs/laps should not exceed 1.5lbs on your All-U-

Need machine.

FUSE DETAILS

The fuse is installed in the back of the All-U-Need 

machine. It is a 250V, 2AMP slo-blo cartridge fuse. 

If you need a replacement, this fuse can be found 

at your local hardware store. See below for how 

to change the fuse.
