SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious person- al injury.

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your drill press 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.

•Worn switch.

•Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

•Worn or damaged V-belts.

•Loose chuck or arbor.

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

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model G9969 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it. Treat all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.

Unpainted Cast Iron

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces by wip- ing them clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Keep these surfaces rust-free with regular appli- cations of products like G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9. These are available in the latest Grizzly catalog under the model num- bers shown below:

Lubrication

Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.

Keep quill, spindle, column, and table top well lubricated to prevent rust.

V-Belts

Inspect regularly for tension and wear. Check pulleys to ensure that they are properly aligned. See Changing Speeds on Page 23 for more information about removing/installing belts if you need help replacing the belts.
