WARNING: For your own safety,
turn switch OFF (O) and remove
plug from power source outlet
before maintaining or lubricating
your drill press.
A coat of automotive type paste wax
applied to the table and column will help
to keep the surfaces clean.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
shock or fire hazard, if the power
cord is worn or cut, or damaged in
any way, have it replaced immedi-
ately.
Lubrication
All of the ball bearings are packed with
grease at the factory. They require no fur-
ther lubrication.
Periodically lubricate the table elevation
mechanism, the splines (grooves) in the
spindle, and the rack (teeth of the quill).
See “Getting to Know Your Drill Press”.
