MAINTENANCE
Properly performed regular maintenance is an essential prerequisite for
operational safety, failure-free operation, a long service life of the wood lathe and
the quality of the products which you manufacture. Installations and equipment
from other manufacturers must also be in good condition.
1、Schedule
For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule
and refer to any specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check
▲ Loose mounting bolts.
▲ Damaged, worn, or loaded sandpaper.
▲ Worn or damaged wires or switches.
▲ Worn or damaged conveyor belt.
▲ Any other unsafe condition.
2、General Cleaning
Cleaning the drum sander 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
on the sanding drum, remove the sandpaper strip and use a resin dissolving
cleaner to remove the resin. Clean the conveyor belt with soapy water.
3、Cleaning Sandpaper
When the sandpaper strip becomes loaded with built-up sawdust and gum, run a
sandpaper cleaner pad through the machine several times along the full length of
the sanding drum until the sandpaper is clean.
4、Lubrication
The bearings on the drum sander have been lubricated and sealed at the factory.
No other care of these bearings is necessary unless they need replacement.
Periodically, depending upon usage, clean away and sawdust or grime from the
elevation leadscrew and the sanding head slides, then apply a small amount of dry
lubricant, such as graphite. Move the sanding head through its full range of motion
to distribute the lubricant.
Note: Do not use grease or oil lubricants that will attract and hold the
sawdust.
