Make certain that the unit is disconnected

from power source before attempting to service

or remove any component.

CLEANING

Keep machine and workshop clean. Do not 

allow sawdust to accumulate on the tool. Keep

the wheels clean. Dirt on the wheels will cause

poor tracking and belt slippage.
Periodically empty the dust collection bag/

canister and clean the filters on your dust 

collector (not included) to keep dust collection 

at maximum efficiency. Be certain motor is 

kept clean and is frequently vacuumed free of 

dust.
Use soap and water to clean painted parts, 

rubber parts and plastic guards.

LUBRICATION

The shielded ball bearings in this tool are 

permanently lubricated at the factory. They

require no further lubrication.
• When operation seems stiff, a light coat of

paste wax applied to the table will make it 

easier to feed the work while finishing.
• Do not apply wax to the belt platen. Belt could 

pick up wax and deposit it on wheels causing 

belt to slip. 
• Slide the new belt over the drive and idler 

wheels; then center the belt on the wheels.

NOTE: 

There may be an arrow on the inside

of the belt. The arrow should point in the di-

rection of belt travel to ensure that the splice 

in the belt will not come apart.

KEEP TOOL IN REPAIR

• If power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any

way, have it replaced immediately.
• Replace worn abrasives when needed.
• Replace any damaged or missing parts. Use

parts list to order parts.
Any attempt to repair motor may create a 

hazard unless repair is done by a qualified 

service technician.
