CLEANING
1. Your machine has been coated with a heavy
grease to protect it in shipping. This coating
should be completely removed before
operating the machine. Commercial degreaser,
kerosene or similar solvent may be used to
remove the grease from the machine, but
avoid getting solvent on belts or other rubber
parts.
2. After cleaning, coat all bare material with a
light lubrication . Lubricate all points with a
medium consistency machine oil.
LUBRICATION
All ball bearings in your mill/drill are sealed for
life, requiring no lubrication. Points requiring
lubrication are:
1.Internal spline drive assembly. Keep this area
well lubricated with a good grade grease, insert
grease in the hole at the top of spindle pulley
spline driver, lube twice yearly.
2.A light film of oil applied to the quill and
column will reduce wear, prevent rust, and
assure ease of operation.
3.Quill return spring should be oiled(sae 20)
once yearly. Remove cover plate and apply oil
with squirt can or small brush.
4.IMPORTANT: The gear box should be oiled
with a lubricant such as 80W90 oil. CHANGE OIL
ONCE A YEAR.
