W1668 131⁄4" Oscillating Drill Press

MAINTENANCE

General

Periodic maintenance on your Model W1668

131⁄4'' Oscillating Drill Press will ensure its opti- mum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your drill press after each use.

Table and Base

Keep the table and other unpainted surfaces rust-free with regular applications of products like Boeshield® T-9. For long term storage con- sider products like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.

NEVER adjust or service the machine while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned off, unplugged and all working parts have come to a stop before proceeding!

Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary.

1.Loose mounting bolts.

2.Worn switch.

3.Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4.Damaged drive belts.

5.Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

Sanding Sleeves

As sanding drums are used, the abrasive sleeve will quickly become "loaded" with sawdust. If not removed, this sawdust will harden on the abrasive surface, rendering the sleeve useless. Routinely clean the sanding sleeve with a rubber gum abrasive cleaner like the PRO-STIK® clean- ers, as shown on Page 30.

Always discard worn sanding sleeves. As abrasive sleeves begin to wear, grit will begin to fall off and cause gouges in the workpiece. Glue used to hold the grit to the paper will rub off onto the workpiece interfering with the final finish.

Lubrication

Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.

For other items on this machine, such as the quill, table and column, an occasional applica- tion of light machine oil is all that is necessary. Before applying lubricant, clean off sawdust and metal chips.

Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too much lubrication will attract dirt and sawdust. Various parts of your machine could loose their freedom of movement as a result.

NOTICE

Contrary to some beliefs, worn abrasives are not the equivalent the next finer grit abrasive. Discard worn sanding sleeves and avoid the temptation to use them beyond their usable life.
