Maintaining Your Drill Press
Maintenance
To reduce the risk of injury, turn
power switch “OFF” and remove plug
from the power source outlet before maintaining or
lubricating your drill press.
Frequently blow out or vacuum sawdust or metal chips
that accumulate in and on the motor, pulley housing,
table, and work surface.
A coat of furniture-type paste wax applied to the table,
column, and machined parts of the base will help to
keep these surfaces clean.
The ball bearings in the spindle and the V-belt pulley
assembly are greased and permanently sealed. Pull the
spindle down and oil the spindle sleeve moderately
every three months.
Certain cleaning agents and solvents
damage plastic parts. Some of these
are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia and household detergents that
contain ammonia. Avoiding use of these and other
types of cleaning agents minimizes the probability of
damage.
To avoid shock or fire hazard, if the power cord is worn,
cut or damaged in any way, have it replaced
immediately.
All repairs, electrical or mechanical,
should be attempted only by trained
repairmen. Contact the nearest Skil Factory Service
Center, Authorized Skil Service Station or other com-
petent repair service. Use only Skil replacement parts;
any other may create a hazard.
