Cleaning & Protecting
An essential part of lubrication is cleaning the
components before lubricating them. This step
is critical because dust builds up on lubricated
components, which makes them hard to move.
Simply adding more grease to built-up grime will
not result in smooth moving parts. Clean the
components in this section with and oil/grease
solvent cleaner or mineral spirits before applying
lubrication.
Cleaning the Model SB1102 is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If
any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving
cleaner to remove it.
Lubricate the bearings sparingly after
about two months of sander operation. The
bearings require very little grease, so avoid
the temptation to over-lubricate.

The pillow block bearings require a small amount
of grease every 20 hours of operation to ensure
smooth sanding drum rotation. The four pillow
bearings are lubricated by grease fittings (see
Figure 30). To lubricate the pillow bearings,
remove the grease fitting cap, use a grease gun to
pump a small amount of grease into the fitting,
then re-attach the cap.
