MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
For other items on this machine, an occasional
application of light machine oil is all that is nec-
essary. Before applying lubricant, wipe the
machine clean.
Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication.
Too much lubrication will attract dirt and saw-
dust. Various parts of your machine could lose
their freedom of movement as a result.
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model
W1676 will ensure its optimum performance.
Make a habit of inspecting your sander each time
you use it. Check for the following conditions
and repair or replace when necessary.
1.
Loose mounting bolts.
2.
Worn switch.
3.
Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4.
Damaged sanding belts or discs.
5.
Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
General
Table And Base

ing the entire mainte-
nance process. Failure to
comply may result in
serious personal injury.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
Disconnect power to the

ing any maintenance,
assembly or adjust-
ments. Failure to do this
may result in serious
personal injury.
