Maintenance

!To reduce the risk of injury, turn power switch “OFF” and remove plug fromWARNINGthe power source outlet before maintaining or

lubricating your drill press.

Frequently blow out or vacuum sawdust or metal chips that accumulate in and on the motor, pulley housing, table, and work surface.

A coat of furniture-type paste wax applied to the table, column, and machined parts of the base will help to keep these surfaces clean.

The ball bearings in the spindle and the V-belt pulley assembly are greased and permanently sealed. Pull the spindle down and oil the spindle sleeve moderately every three months.
