Schedule

Cleaning &

protecting

Use a brush and shop vacuum to remove chips
and debris from the mill. never blow off the mill
with compressed air, as this will force metal chips
deep into the mechanisms and may injure your-
self or bystanders.
Wipe built-up grime from the mill with a rag and a
mild solvent. remove any rust from the unpainted
cast iron surfaces of your mill, then treat them with
regular applications of products such as primrose
armor plate Way oil, g96 ® gun treatment,
sLipit®, or Boeshield® t-9 (see Section 5:
Accessories on page 30 for more details).

Lubrication

your mill has numerous moving metal-to-metal
contacts that require proper lubr ication to help
ensure efficient and long-lasting mill operation.
other than the lubrication points covered in this
section, all other bearings are internally lubricated
and sealed at the factor y. simply leave them
alone unless they need to be replaced.
Before adding lubricant, clean debris and grime
from the devices to avoid contaminating the new
lubrication.
