2.Lower the headstock as far as you can with- out the spindle contacting the table surface.

3.Use mineral spirits and a brush to clean as much of the existing grease and debris as possible off of the vertical leadscrew shown in Figure 47. Allow leadscrew to dry.

Figure 47. Vertical leadscrew location.

4.Apply light machine oil to the exposed leadscrew threads, then move the headstock through its full range of motion several times to disperse the oil along the full length of the leadscrew.

5.Using the cross handwheel, move the table as far forward as possible.
