MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or when blowing
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
WARNING:
To prevent accidental starting that could cause possible
serious personal injury, turn off the tool, remove the
switch key, and unplug the drill press before performing
any maintenance or adjustment.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
�After using the drill press, clean it completely and lubricate
all sliding and moving parts. Apply a light coat of automotive-
type paste wax to the table and column to help keep the
surfaces clean.
LUBRICATION
n Lower spindle to maximum depth and oil moderately once
every three months.
n Oil the column lightly every two months.
n If cranking becomes difficult, grease gear rack lightly.
The ball bearings in the tool are permanently lubricated.

SET SCREWS
MOTOR/ELECTRICAL
The induction motor is easy to maintain but must be kept
clean. Do not allow water, oil, or sawdust to accumulate on
or in it. The sealed bearings are permanently lubricated and
need no further attention.
HEAD ASSEMBLY AND MOTOR HOUSING
Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside
the head assembly and/or motor housing.
PULLEYS
See Figure 25.
Should you feel an unusually high level of vibration, the pul-
leys may not be tightly secured on the motor and/or spindle
shafts. To make sure the pulleys are properly seated and
tight, locate the set screw on each of the pulleys. Tighten
each set screw with the hex key.
GEAR RACK
Periodically lubricate the worm gear and gear rack in order
to keep the vertical movement smooth and to help prolong
the life of the drill press.
BATTERIES
Check the laser batteries regularly to avoid deterioration.
Remove the batteries if you will not be using the laser for
an extended time.
