MAINTENANCE

General

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

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

•Loose chucks and arbors.

•Loose vices or clamps.

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Worn switch and safety shut off features.

•Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

•Damaged V-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

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

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Model M1001 is relatively easy. Sweep excess metal chips from the table and ways, and wipe off the remaining waste with a dry cloth. If any coolant is left on the table, wipe it up with a rag. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

Table and Base

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces by wiping them clean after every use—this ensures moisture does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Keep exposed cast iron rust-free with regular applications of surface lubricants designed for cast iron.

Remove vices, clamps, rotary tables, etc. after use so moisture cannot be trapped between the components and cause rust.
