MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

WARNING:

To prevent accidental starting that could cause possible serious personal injury, turn off the tool, remove the switch key, and unplug the drill press before performing any maintenance or adjustment.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum- based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.

After using the drill press, clean it completely and lubricate all sliding and moving parts. Apply a light coat of automotive- type paste wax to the table and column to help keep the surfaces clean.

LUBRICATION

Lower spindle to maximum depth and oil moderately once every three months.

Oil the column lightly every two months.

If cranking becomes difficult, grease gear rack lightly. The ball bearings in the tool are permanently lubricated.

MOTOR/ELECTRICAL

The induction motor is easy to maintain but must be kept clean. Do not allow water, oil, or sawdust to accumulate on or in it. The sealed bearings are permanently lubricated and need no further attention.

head assembly and motor housing

Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the head assembly and/or motor housing.

Pulleys

See Figure 25.

Should you feel an unusually high level of vibration, the pul- leys may not be tightly secured on the motor and/or spindle shafts. To make sure the pulleys are properly seated and tight, locate the set screw on each of the pulleys. Tighten each set screw with the hex key.
