SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person
-
al injury.
Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the
table by removing vises and fixtures daily and
by wiping the table clean after every use—this
ensures moisture does not remain on bare metal
surfaces.
Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of
products like G96
®
Gun Treatment, SLIPIT
®
, or
Boeshield
®
T-9 (see SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES
on
Page 22 for more details).
Unpainted Cast Iron
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check
:
• Mill/drill is completely powered down at the
end of use.
• Excess cutting fluids and chips have been
removed and unpainted surfaces are dry and
protected.
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Mill/drill is clean and lubricated.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Any other unsafe condition.
Monthly Check:
• Gibs are adjusted properly.
Schedule
Regular lubrication will ensure your mill/drill per-
forms at its highest potential (see Figures 25 &
26).
Place two to three drops of
ISO 68 or SAE 20W
non-detergent oil or similar lubricant directly on
the ways of the cross slide and saddle. An oil
bottle has been provided for this purpose.
Oil fittings are located on the tops of each
handwheel and one on each side where the
headstock meets the column. These should be
lubricated daily with several drops oil.
