Your Oscillating Edge Sander requires little maintenance
beyond the routine inspection, lubrication, and cleaning.

ROUTINE INSPECTION

It is a good idea to routinely inspect any quality
woodworking tool in order to keep it in optimum
condition. This includes inspecting all hardware for
tightness, ensuring drive belts are in good condition, and
cleaning debris and grime from any surfaces and moving
parts.
LUBRICATION
The sealed motor of your Oscillating Edge Sander is
maintenance-free. However, it is recommended that you
periodically lubricate the gears in the gear box using a
quality #2 grease or equivalent. To keep the sander table
and other bare metal parts in good working condition,
apply an occasional coat of quality paste wax, free of
silicone or synthetics
