SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Typically, each operator is responsible for ensur-
ing proper care of the equipment. We strongly
recommend all operators make a habit of follow-
ing the daily maintenance procedures.
Ongoing
To 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.
• Chip guard removed.
• EMERGENCY STOP button not working cor-
rectly or not requiring you to reset it before
starting the machine again.
• Any other unsafe condition.
Every 8 hour of operation:
• Lubricate the ball oilers (Page 34).
• Check/Add headstock oil (Page 33).
• Check quantity/quality of coolant (Page 20).
Annually:
• Change headstock oil (Page 33).
Daily, After Operations
• Thoroughly clean the machine and protect all
surface areas
• Press the EMERGENCY STOP button and
shut OFF the master power switch (to pre-
vent accidental startup).
• Remove any rotary tables, vises, fixtures, or
workpieces from the table to prevent rusting
the table surface.
Annually
• Disconnect machine from power, open elec-
trical box, and clean with compressed air.
Metal chips left on the machine will invite oxida-
tion and a gummy residue build-up around the
moving parts. Use a brush and shop vacuum to
remove chips and debris from the working sur-
faces of the drill press. Never blow off the drill
press with compressed air, as this will force metal
chips deep into the mechanisms and may cause
injury to yourself or bystanders.
Remove any rust build-up from unpainted cast
iron surfaces of your drill press and treat with a
non- staining lubricant after cleaning.
Keep unpainted cast iron surfaces rust-free with
regular applications of ISO 68 way oil (see Page
30 for offerings form Grizzly).
Cleaning and
Protecting
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
