SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

To reduce risk of shock or accidental startup, always disconnect machine from power before adjustments, maintenance, or service.

Schedule

Typically, each operator is responsible for ensur- ing proper care of the equipment. We strongly recommend all operators make a habit of follow- ing the daily maintenance procedures.

Ongoing

To reduce the risk of injury and ensure proper machine operation, if you ever observe any of the items below, shut down the machine immediately and fix the problem before continuing operations:

•Loose mounting bolts or fasteners.

•Worn, frayed, cracked, or damaged wires.

•Chip guard removed.

•EMERGENCY STOP button not working cor- rectly or not requiring you to reset it before starting the machine again.

•Any other unsafe condition.

Every 8 hour of operation:

•Lubricate the ball oilers (Page 34).

Daily, After Operations

•Thoroughly clean the machine and protect all surface areas

•Press the EMERGENCY STOP button and shut OFF the master power switch (to pre- vent accidental startup).

•Remove any rotary tables, vises, fixtures, or workpieces from the table to prevent rusting the table surface.

Annually

•Disconnect machine from power, open elec- trical box, and clean with compressed air.

Cleaning and

Protecting

Metal chips left on the machine will invite oxida- tion and a gummy residue build-up around the moving parts. Use a brush and shop vacuum to remove chips and debris from the working sur- faces of the drill press. Never blow off the drill press with compressed air, as this will force metal chips deep into the mechanisms and may cause injury to yourself or bystanders.

Remove any rust build-up from unpainted cast iron surfaces of your drill press and treat with a non- staining lubricant after cleaning.

Keep unpainted cast iron surfaces rust-free with regular applications of ISo 68 way oil (see Page 30 for offerings form Grizzly).
