Disc lock washer for the for BLE Original Zephyr edger

Function

The disc lock washer plays an important role in holding the abrasive disc used for sanding parquet flooring in place.

Here is its general function and some information on when it may need to be replaced:

1. Holding the abrasive disc in place: The disc lock washer is generally used to hold the abrasive disc firmly in place on the machine. It helps to ensure that the disc remains fixed during sanding.

2. Pressure distribution: By tightening the washer, the pressure is distributed evenly across the abrasive disc. This helps to prevent any unwanted movement of the disc while the edge sander is in operation.

When should the disc lock washer be replaced?

- Wear: If the disc lock washer shows signs of wear, such as deformation, cracks or a reduction in its ability to hold the disc in place, it may need to be replaced.

- Difficulty maintaining pressure: If the washer is no longer able to maintain sufficient pressure to secure the disc, it may be time to replace it.

- Ineffective clamping: If the lock washer no longer clamps the abrasive disc properly despite appropriate adjustments, this may indicate the need for replacement.

It is recommended that you consult the Repex Floor technical service for specific information on maintenance, replacement and adjustment of the disc lock washer. The manufacturer's recommendations may vary depending on the model and date of manufacture of the machine.

In general, regular maintenance, visual inspection, and replacement of worn parts will help ensure the proper functioning of the edger and extend its service life.
