SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.
Schedule
Ongoing
To help reduce the risk of injury and ensure proper
machine operation, if you ever observe any of the
items below, shut down the machine immediately
and fix the problem before continuing operations:
• Loose mounting bolts or fasteners.
• Worn, frayed, cracked, or damaged wires.
• Guards or covers removed.
• Emergency STOP button not working cor-
rectly or not requiring you to reset it before
starting the machine again.
• Damaged or malfunctioning components.
Daily, Before Operations
• Check/add gearbox oil (Page 52).
• Add oil to the ball oilers (Page 53).
• Clean/lubricate the leadscrew and carriage
rack (Page 54).
• Lubricate the bedways (Page 54).
• Compound slide (Page 54).
• Disengage the half nut on the carriage (to
prevent crashes upon startup).
• Ensure carriage lock bolt is loose.
Daily, After Operations
• Turn the spindle direction switch to STOP,
and press the Emergency STOP button (to
prevent accidental startup).
• Vacuum/clean all chips and swarf from bed
and slides.
• Wipe down all unpainted or machined sur-
faces with an oiled rag.
• Add oil to the ball oilers (Page 53).
Annually
• Change the gearbox oil (Page 52).
• Lubricate the change gears (Page 55).
• Check/level bedway (Page 21).
Cleaning/Protecting
Because of its importance, we recommend that
the cleaning routine be planned into the workflow
schedule.
Typically, the easiest way to clean swarf from the
machine is to use a wet/dry shop vacuum that is
dedicated for this purpose. The small chips left
over after vacuuming can be wiped up with a
slightly oiled rag. Avoid using compressed air to
blow off chips, as this may drive them deeper into
the moving surfaces or cause sharp chips to fly
into your face or hands.
All unpainted and machined surfaces should be
wiped down daily to keep them rust free and in top
condition. This includes any surface that is vulner-
able to rust if left unprotected (especially parts
that are exposed to water soluble cutting fluid).
Use a quality rust protectorate such as SLIPIT
®
or
Boeshield
®
to prevent corrosion.
