Grizzly G0517g instruction manual Maintenance, Schedule, Unpainted Cast Iron, Lubrication

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 or Boeshield® T-9. See below for Grizzly model numbers:
