SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Damaged cutting tools.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Any other unsafe condition.
• Clean/Vacuum chip buildup from machine.
Monthly Check:
• V-belt tension, damage, or wear.
Schedule
Metal chips left on the machine that have been
soaked with water-based coolant 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 mill. Never blow the mill off with com-
pressed 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 mill and treat with a non-
staining lubricant after cleaning.
Keep unpainted cast iron surfaces rust-free
with regular applications of products like G96
®
Gun Treatment, SLIPIT
®
, or Boeshield
®
T-9 (see
Accessories beginning on Page 28).
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 preventative 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 slot-
ted screw heads 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 exces-
sively stiff.
