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 disconnected from power when not in use.

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Mill/drill is clean and lubricated.

•Worn or damaged wires.

•Any other unsafe condition.

Monthly Check:

•Gibs are adjusted properly.

Annual or Biannual Check:

•Lubricate headstock lead screw and gears.

Lubrication

Regular lubrication will ensure your mill/drill per- forms at its highest potential. Place two to three drops of a general machine oil directly on the ways of the cross slide and saddle. An oil bottle has been provided for this purpose. Nine ball oil- ers (Figures 29–31) should be lubricated daily with several drops of oil.

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces with regular applications of products like G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9.
