SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may
result in serious person-
al injury.
For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Daily/Ongoing
To maintain a low risk of injury and proper
machine operation, if you ever observe any of the
items below, shut down the machine immediately
and fix the problem before continuing operations:
•
Loose mounting bolts.
•
Damaged tooling.
•
Worn or damaged wires.
•
Clean debris and built-up grime off of machine.
•
Any other unsafe condition.
Every 8 Hours of Operation
•
Lubricate table and column ways (
Page 36).
•
Lubricate quill outside surface (
Page 38).
Every 40 Hours of Operation
•
Lubricate table leadscrews (
Page 36).
Every 6–12 Months of Operation
•
Lubricate column leadscrew, column gear,
and bearing block (
Page 37).
•
Lubricate quill rack (
Page 38).
Schedule
Metal chips left on the machine that have been
soaked with water-based coolant will invite oxida-
tion 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 mill/drill. Never blow off the mill/drill
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 mill/drill and treat with a non-
staining lubricant after cleaning.
Keep unpainted cast-iron surfaces rust-free
with regular applications of ISO 68 way oil (see
Page 31 for offerings from Grizzly).
Cleaning and
Protecting
NOTICE
The recommended lubrication is based on
light-to-medium usage. Since lubrication
helps to protect value and operation of
machine, these lubrication tasks may need
to be performed more frequently than rec-
ommended, depending on usage.
Failure to follow reasonable lubrication
practices as instructed in this manual could
lead to premature failure of machine com-
ponents and will void the warranty.
