Cleaning the Sander
The sander may need to be cleaned more frequently depending upon
frequency of use. The drum and the conveyor belt need to be clean.
Allowing excess build-up of dust and debris can adversely affect
performance and increase the likelihood of slippage on the conveyor belt.
Sweep the conveyor belt clean after all operations. When cleaning dust
from the drum leave the dust collection system on.
