SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
For optimum performance from your machine,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check:
•
Loose mounting bolts or fasteners.
• Worn, frayed, cracked, or damaged wires.
• Chip guard removed.
• EMERGENCY STOP button not working cor-
rectly or not requiring you to reset it before
starting the machine again.
• Clean debris and built up grime off of machine.
• Any other unsafe condition.
Every 8 Hours:
•
Lubricate ball oilers ( Page 35).
• Check/Add headstock oil (
Page 33).
• Check quantity/quality of coolant ( Page 36).
Every 90 Hours:
•
Lubricate column rack (
Page 35).
Annually:
•
Change headstock oil ( Page 33).
• Disconnect machine from power, open elec-
trical box, and clean with compressed air.
Sawdust, woodchips, and metal chips left on the
machine will invite oxidation and a gummy residue
build-up around the moving parts. Use a brush
and shop vacuum to remove chips and debris
from the working sur- faces of the drill press.
Never blow off the drill press with compressed
air, as this will force metal chips deep into the
mechanisms and may cause injury to yourself or
bystanders.
Remove any rust build-up from unpainted cast
iron surfaces of your mill and treat them with a
non-staining lubricant after cleaning.
Keep unpainted cast iron surfaces rust-free
with regular applications of products like G96
®
Gun Treatment, SLIPIT
®
, or Boeshield
®
T-9 (see
Figure 37 and the Grizzly catalog or website).
Cleaning and
Protecting
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
