NOTE: Morse taper drills (MT2), may also be used with this machine, and are inserted into
the Quill to replace the arbour. Removal is the same as that for removing the chuck.
MAINTENANCE
For maximum performance it is essential that the Drill Press is properly maintained. Always
inspect before use. Any damage should be repaired and faults rectified.
If the mains lead is worn, cut or damaged, in any way, it should be replaced immediately.
Refer to the trouble shooting chart on page 15. If you are unable to rectify faults, contact
your local dealer or Clarke International Service Division on 020 8556 4443 for assistance.
After use.......
Remove all swarf from the machine and thoroughly clean all surfaces.
Components should be dry, with machined surfaces lightly oiled.
Monthly
(When in constant use)
•
Check tightness of mounting bolts, and, head and column securing set screws.
•
Check belt for wear and replace if frayed or damaged in any way.
•
Blow out any dust that may have accumulated in the motor fan.
•
Apply a thin coat of wax paste or light oil to the table and column, for lubrication and
to help prevent corrosion.
NOTE:
Always remove drill bits and store in a safe place.
All bearings are packed with grease at the factory and require no further lubrication.
REMOVING THE CHUCK
T
To remove the chuck, pull the spindle down fully,
using the feed handles. The slot in the side of the
Quill will become visible, as shown in fig. 14. Note
the position of the chuck, perhaps by placing a
chalk mark, in line with the chuck, on the column,
then raise the table so that it is only an inch or so
below the position marked.
Place a thick cloth, or similar, on the table to catch
the chuck, to prevent damage when it drops, then
pull down the spindle once more, until the slot in
the Quill tube is visible, Insert the drive wedge
into the slot and give it a sharp tap, preferably
with a copper hammer. This will break the seal
between the quill tube and the arbour, allowing
the chuck to fall free, on to the cloth on the table.
To disconnect the chuck from the arbour, give it
a sharp tap with a soft head mallet to break the
taper seal.
