Maintenance Schedule

Machine Storage

!

Always disconnect machine from power before performing maintenance or serious personal injury may result.

Before Beginning Operations

• Make sure the electric box door is closed and

properly latched.

• Turn the spindle direction switch to the

STOP (middle) position and the speed dial

all the way counterclockwise to prevent high-

speed spindle startup when connected to

power (see Page 26).

Each operator of this machine is responsible for ensuring proper care of the equipment. We strongly recommend that all operators make a habit of following the daily maintenance procedures.

For optimum performance from this machine, this maintenance schedule must be strictly followed. Use the Monthly Maintenance Chart on Page 42 to ensure this is done.

Ongoing

To maintain a low risk of injury and proper machine operation, if you ever observe any of the items below shut the machine down immediately, disconnect it from power, and fix the problem before continuing operations.

•Loose mounting bolts or fasteners.

•Worn, frayed, cracked, or damaged wires.

•Emergency STOP button not working correctly.

•Missing belt guards.

•Reduction in braking speed or efficiency.

•Coolant not flowing correctly.

•Any other unsafe condition.

• Move the downfeed selector to the manual

(forward) position to prevent the spindle

from unexpectedly downfeeding when

rotation is started (see Page 35).

• Make sure the X-axis power feed is turned

OFF to prevent unintentional table

movement when connected to power (see

Page 28).

• Check the coolant reservoir in the base. Fill

or clean out if necessary (see Page 48).

• Perform the lubrication tasks as directed in

the Lubrication section on Page 43.

• Check table movement in all three axes for

loose/tight gibs. Adjust the gibs if necessary

(see Page 50).

Daily, After Operations

•Push the emergency STOP button, turn the main power switch to the OFF position, and disconnect the machine from power.

•Vacuum/clean all chips and swarf from table, slides, and base.

•Wipe down all unpainted or machined surfaces with a good quality rust preventative.
