Maintenance Tips
-
Clean belt and conveyor bed regularly: Remove dust, resin and debris from belt and bed to maintain flat feeding and consistent results.
-
Check brush or drum head condition: Inspect bristles or drum surface for wear or damage—replace when uneven finish or vibration appears.
-
Lubricate adjustment mechanisms: Keep height adjuster and tension rollers free-moving; apply light oil periodically.
-
Verify conveyor tension & tracking: Ensure the poly belt remains well-aligned and tensioned for stable feeding.
-
Maintain dust extraction port: Clear the 1-4″ dust hood and keep airflow at recommended minimum (~600 CFM) to reduce heat, resin buildup and extend life.
