SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Schedule
Ongoing
To maintain a low risk of injury and proper
machine operation, if you ever observe any of the
items below, shut down the machine immediately
and fix the problem before continuing operations:
• Loose mounting bolts or fasteners.
• Worn, frayed, cracked, or damaged wires.
• Guards or covers removed.
• Emergency Stop button not working cor-
rectly.
• Damaged or malfunctioning components.
Daily, Before Operations
• Add oil to the ball oilers (Page 51).
• Lubricate the leadscrew and carriage rack
(Page 52).
• Lubricate the bedways (Page 52).
• Clean/lubricate the cross slide and com-
pound slide (Page 52).
• Disengage the half nut on the carriage (to
prevent crashes upon startup).
Daily, After Operations
• Press the Emergency Stop button (to prevent
accidental startup).
• Vacuum/clean all chips and swarf from bed,
slides.
• Wipe down all unpainted or machined sur-
faces with an oiled rag.
Annually
• Lubricate change gear bushing and tumbler
gears (Page 53).
Cleaning /Protecting
Because of its importance, we recommend that
the cleaning routine be planned into the workflow
schedule.
Typically, the easiest way to clean swarf from the
machine is to use a wet/dry shop vacuum that is
dedicated for this purpose. The small chips left
over after vacuuming can be wiped up with a
slightly oiled rag. Avoid using compressed air to
blow off chips, as this may drive them deeper into
the moving surfaces or cause sharp chips to fly
into your face or hands.
All unpainted and machined surfaces should be
wiped down daily to keep them rust free and in top
condition. This includes any surface that is vulner-
able to rust if left unprotected. Use a quality ISO
68 way oil (see Page 49 for offerings from Grizzly)
to prevent corrosion.
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.
