SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

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

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section.

Daily Check:

•Mill/drill is completely powered down at the end of use.

•Excess cutting fluids and chips have been removed and unpainted surfaces are dry and protected.

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Mill/drill is clean and lubricated.

•Worn or damaged wires.

•Any other unsafe condition.

Monthly Check:

•Gibs are adjusted properly.

Unpainted Cast Iron

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the table by removing vises and fixtures daily and by wiping the table clean after every use—this ensures moisture does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of products like G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9 (see SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES on Page 22 for more details).

Lubrication

Regular lubrication will ensure your mill/drill per- forms at its highest potential (see Figures 25 & 26).

Place two to three drops of ISO 68 or SAE 20W non-detergent oil or similar lubricant directly on the ways of the cross slide and saddle. An oil bottle has been provided for this purpose.

Oil fittings are located on the tops of each handwheel and one on each side where the headstock meets the column. These should be lubricated daily with several drops oil.
