Weekly Maintenance


  • Lubricate conveyor roller bushings with a couple drops of 3-in-1 oil from a can (located in Maintenance Cart drawer) in holes(fig 1).
    • The manual says this should be done daily—since we do not see daily use, weekly should be OK
    • Avoid adding too much oil, which attracts sawdust
  • Vacuum dust buildup from underneath top cover.
  • Check for worn or damaged sandpaper. Make a tool report that yellow tags the sander and alert the maintenance crew if the sandpaper needs to be cleaned. 
  • Check to see if the belt is tracking properly. The conveyor belt should not be touching the silver metal shields on each side. Make a tool report that yellow tags the sander and alert the maintenance crew if the conveyor belt tracking needs to be adjusted.
