MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATING THE VISE SCREW
The vise lead screw should be lubricated using light
machine oil as needed.
The drive gears run in an oil bath gear box and it should
not be necessary to change this oil more than once a
year unless the oil becomes contaminated or a leak
occurs due to improper replacement of the gear box
cover. To change oil in the gear box, proceed as follows:
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM
POWER SOURCE.
1. Position cutting arm in the horizontal position.
2. Remove the four screws (A) Fig. 38, and the gear
box cover (B) and gasket.
3. Remove the old oil from inside the gear box and
replace the oil using 140 weight gear oil, available from
Delta. The new oil should just come to the edge (C) Fig.
39, of the gear box. Do not overflow. Replace the
gasket, cover and four screws that were removed in
STEP 3.

KEEP MACHINE CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed
air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp
cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could
possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
WEAR ANSI Z87.1 SAFETY GLASSES
WHILE USING COMPRESSED AIR.
FAILURE TO START
Should your machine fail to start, check to make sure the
prongs on the cord plug are making good contact in the
outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers
in the line.
LUBRICATION
Apply household floor paste wax to the machine table and
extension table or other work surface weekly.

®
, 1 can of degreaser, 1 can of TopCote

with the Scotch-Brite pad using the pushblock as a
holddown. Degrease the table, then apply the TopCote
