SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
Your Model G1006/G1007 Mill/Drill requires very
little maintenance. A thorough cleaning, now and
again, will increase the machine’s durability and
efficiency by removing chips and grime that can
gum up moving parts. It is best of course, to do
this after each use.
Sharp cutters are essential for top performance. If
you find that the machine cuts less efficiently than
usual, inspect the cutters and sharpen or replace
them as necessary.
An occasional application of a protective spray
coating will keep the table and other bare metal
parts from rusting and pitting.
General
DO NOT make adjustments while the
Mill/Drill is running. Ensure that the switch
is off, power is disconnected and moving
parts have stopped before making adjust-
ments.
The gibs are pre-adjusted at the factory and
will not need further adjustment by you until
after extended use. If movement seems too
tight at first, make sure that all rust preventa-
tive is removed from the ways, lubricate them
with oil, and work the table back and forth
several times to loosen it up.
The gibs are adjusted by turning the large slotted
screwheads in the front and right side of the table
base until you feel a slight drag when you turn the
handwheels. The screw at the front of the
machine affects movement from front to back.
The screw under the right side of the table affects
longitudinal movement. You can loosen the
screws if your table movement seems excessive-
ly stiff.
