For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check
:
• Drill press is completely powered down at the
end of use.
• Excess cutting fluids and chips have been
removed and unpainted surfaces are dry and
protected.
• Floor mounting bolts are secure.
• Drill press is clean and lubricated.
• Examine wiring for damage or wear.
• Check for any other unsafe condition.
Schedule
The quill and table use a rack and pinion assem-
bly for movement. To ensure a smooth operation
and a long life of these rack and pinion systems,
lubricate as needed depending upon use.
Brush a small amount of multi-purpose grease on
the rack near the pinion (see Figure 28 & 29
).
Move the table or quill up and down to distribute
the grease.
Lubrication
Figure 28. Table rack lubrication point.
Note: All other bearings are lubricated and sealed
at the factory, and do not need further lubrica
-
tion.
