1.Loose mounting bolts.
2.Worn switch.
3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4.Damaged
5.Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.
Belt Tension
Proper belt tension is achieved by tightening the belt adjusting cam so the belt has a slight tension on it. Excessive tension will create heat and shorten belt life. Too little tension will cause the belt to slip and squeal.
Shielded and
For other items on this machine, such as the quill, table and column, an occasional shot of light machine oil is all that is necessary. Before apply- ing lubricant, clean off sawdust and metal chips. Use a light grease on the rack, both on the teeth and between the rack and column.
Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too much lubricant will attract dirt and sawdust and clog the drill press mechanism.
