General Maintenance

Regular periodic maintenance of your lathe/mill will ensure 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 mounting bolts and chuck.

•Worn switch or safety features.

•Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

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

General Cleaning

Clean your machine every day or more often as needed. Make sure to unplug the lathe/mill before cleaning it. Never blow the lathe/mill off with compressed air, oth- erwise you will force metal shavings deep into mecha- nisms. Remove chips as they accumulate with rags, brushes, and a shop vacuum. Chips left on the machine soaked with water-based coolant will eventually invite oxidation and a gummy residue build up around moving parts. Cleaning will help keep your lathe/mill running smoothly. Always be safe and responsible with the use and disposal of cleaning products.

Never use acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner to remove stains or oil from painted surfaces. These chemi- cals will melt the paint. Use mineral spirits or mild household degreasers.

General Lubrication

Keep the headstock oil level at 3⁄4 full (Figure 54). After break-in, change the oil in the headstock with Mobil® DTE® Heavy-Medium or an equilivant grade of oil immediately and then again after three months. After that, change the oil at the same time on an annual basis or more frequent- ly if extreme machine use requires it.

To control surface rust on machined surfaces, wipe the unprotected metal as required with a rust inhibiting oil.

Paint all gears in Figure 55 with a good quality automo- tive wheel bearing grease as required to keep lubricated.
