WARNING
General
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various
types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt,
carbon dust, etc.
1. Frequently blow out any drilling dust that may accumulate inside the motor housing.
2. Check belt condition often.
WARNING
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 bracket lightly. Periodically
lubricate the gear rack in order to keep the vertical movement smooth and to help prolong the life of
your drill press.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 during
product operation. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy
plastic which could result in serious personal injury.
