Lubrication
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
For other items on this machine, such as the quill, table and column, horizontal and verti- cal columns, an occasional application of light machine oil is all that is necessary to maintain smooth
Before applying any lubricant, clean off the old lubricant, and any sawdust or metal chips.
DO NOT over lubricate, your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too much lubrication will attract dirt and sawdust, and various parts of your machine could loose freedom of move- ment.
