Monthly Maintenance

• Perform weekly maintenance
• Remove the lower panel on the infeed side of the machine. Vacuum dust buildup from inside cabinet and off motor.
• Check v-belts for damage, tension, and wear. Yellow/Red tag the machine if issues are observed. 
• Check for problematic issues:
  • Loose mounting bolts.
  • Worn or damaged sandpaper.
  • Worn switch or buttons.
• Lubricate pillow bearings (fig 2) with 1–2 pumps from a grease gun.
  • The manual says this should be done weekly, or per 20 hours of use. I expect monthly should be sufficient based on our usage.
  • Avoid adding too much grease, which attracts sawdust.
• Yellow/Red tag the machine if issues are observed.
