MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the Power Cord before Working on the Machine
Although machines such as this drill press are designed to work in wood shops
and metal shops, sawdust and metal shavings are not friendly to electrical
motors.
The owner should routinely (once a month) blow out or vacuum metal shavings
and sawdust from around the motor cover, the pulley housing, the drill press
table and other surfaces.
The drill press table should be cleaned after each use.
The application of a light coat of paste wax on drill press column and the table
will help keep these surfaces clean and rust-free.
The bearings in the quill and V-belt assembly are permanently greased and
sealed.
A light application of oil to the quill every three months is recommended.
Lubricate other moving parts as well to keep the drill press well maintained.
