G1005Z Mill/Drill
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person
-
al injury.
SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Model G1005Z is relatively easy.
Remove excess cutting fluid and chips, and wipe
off the remaining moisture with a dry cloth. Treat
all unpainted cast iron and steel with a non-stain
-
ing lubricant after cleaning.
Cleaning
Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the
table by wiping the table clean after every use—
this ensures moisture does not remain on bare
metal surfaces.
Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of
products like G96
®
Gun Treatment, SLIPIT
®
, or
Boeshield
®
T-9.

follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check
:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Worn or damaged wires.
• Any other unsafe condition.
• Mill/drill is completely powered down at the

Schedule
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.
Each table handwheel must be
oiled periodically
to prevent binding. For each handwheel, use an
ISO VG 68 or SAE-20 oil in the location shown in
Figure 26.
