Maintenance

Maintenance

WARNING: For your own safety, turn switch OFF (O) and remove plug from power source outlet before maintaining or lubricating your drill press.

A coat of automotive type paste wax applied to the table and column will help to keep the surfaces clean.

Lubrication

All of the ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory. They require no fur- ther lubrication.

Periodically lubricate the table elevation mechanism, the splines (grooves) in the spindle, and the rack (teeth of the quill). See “Getting to Know Your Drill Press”.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock or fire hazard, if the power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immedi- ately.
