- Empty the dust bag when it reaches the ½ full mark. Never leave debris in the bag for any length of time. Spontaneous combustion can result from this, especially if the material being sanded is damp (ie. decks).
- Periodically inspect the power cord for defects. These machines will eat anything in their paths!
- It’s advisable to keep the last sanding sheet or belt used, attached to the drum for added protection from gravel and other debris. Periodically check the sanding drum for gouges or grooves, which are often caused by running the machine over nails or staples that weren’t removed during the preparation process.
- Check the cogged drive belts occasionally for proper tension and alignment. These stretch over time. A belt which is too loose can contribute to excessive vibration resulting in chatter marks, while a belt too tight can cause premature bearing wear.
