MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create
a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury make sure the drill press is turned OFF and the cord is
unplugged from the power source before performing any maintenance or adjustment.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
After using your 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
The ball bearings in the quill and V-belt pulley are permanently lubricated. To lubricate
the spindle, pull quill down to maximum depth and oil moderately once every three
months. Oil all slide bars lightly every two months. If cranking becomes difficult, grease
