Make sure machine is unplugged from power source before performing maintenance or mak- ing any adjustment.

Oil System Maintenance

Periodic cleaning of oil reservoir and filter screens will promote proper operation of machine. Replace cutting oil when it becomes dirty or contaminated.

1.Remove and clean top chip pan screen.

2.Remove and clean secondary screen from chip pan.

3.Remove drain plug and drain cutting oil.

4.Clean oil filter screen and remove sludge built up in oil reservoir.

CAUTION DO NOT operate machine with oil filter in bottom of oil reservoir removed. This could cause chips to clog oil line and/or damage the oil pump.

Figure 22 – Spindle Bearing Lubrication

Main spindle bearing lubrication ports are located on top and at each end of the spindle housing.

Bearings are oil impregnated when manufactured and will serve to lubricate spindle until scheduled mainte- nance is performed.

Lubrication with 10 drops of SAE 20 Weight Nondetergent oil is recommended every six months (more often under heavy machine usage).

Front Jaw Insert and Centering Finger Replacement

1.Run machine in the OPEN position to open jaws.

2.With machine OFF and unplugged, remove front cover.

3.Loosen screw that holds jaw insert and centering finger in place. This should allow jaw insert to separate from jaw assembly. (Figures 23A & B)

4.On a workbench, drive out top pins holding centering finger in place and install new centering finger.
