Unpainted Cast Iron
Cleaning the Model G9969 is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any
resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner
to remove it. Treat all unpainted cast iron and
steel with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.
Cleaning
Lubrication
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
Keep quill, spindle, column, and table top well
lubricated to prevent rust.
V-Belts
Inspect regularly for tension and wear. Check
pulleys to ensure that they are properly aligned.
See Changing Speeds on Page 23 for more
information about removing/installing belts if you
need help replacing the belts.
Regular periodic maintenance on your drill press
will ensure optimum performance. Make a habit
of inspecting your machine each time you use it.
Check for the following conditions and repair or
replace when necessary:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn switch.
• Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
• Worn or damaged V-belts.
• Loose chuck or arbor.
• Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
