MAINTENANCE

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your SHOP FOX® Model M1036 will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it.

Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary:

•Loose chucks and arbors.

•Loose vises or clamps.

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Worn switch.

•Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

•Damaged round belt.

•Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

A thorough cleaning, on a regular basis, will increase the machine durability and efficiency by removing chips and grime that can gum up moving parts.

A regular application of a protective spray coating will keep the table and other bare metal parts from rusting and pitting.

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model M1036 is relatively easy. Sweep or vacuum excess metal chips from the table and ways, and wipe off the remaining waste with a dry cloth. If any cut- ting fluid is left on the table, wipe it up with a rag. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubri- cant after cleaning.

Table & Base

Keep exposed cast iron rust-free with regular applications of surface lubricants designed for cast iron such as G96® Gun Treatment or SLIPIT®. For long term storage you may want to consider products like Boeshield T-9™.

Remove vises, clamps, compound slide tables, etc. after use so moisture cannot be trapped between the compo- nents and cause rust.

MAKE SURE that your machine is unplugged during all maintenance pro- cedures! If this warning is ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.
