Monthly Maintenance

  • Perform weekly maintenance
  • Check v-belts for damage, tension, and wear.
  • 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.
