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,horizontalandverti-
cal columns, an occasional application of light
machine oil is all that is necessary to maintain
smooth rust-free operation.
Before applying any lubricant, clean off the old
lubricant, and any sawdust or metal chips.
DO.NOT over lubricate, your goal is to achieve
adequate lubrication. Too much lubrication will
attract dirt and sawdust, and various parts of
your machine could loose freedom of move-
ment.
Periodic maintenance on your Model W1669and
W1670RadialDrillPress will ensure its opti-
mum performance. Make a habit of inspecting
your drill press after each use.
