LUBRICATION
Keep the column and both sides of the dovetail way well lubricated and free of dust or debris. Clean and remove dust,
debris, and old lubricant as needed depending on frequency of use. After cleaning, reapply a verily light coating of
lubricant.
NOTE: Use any all-purpose oil, available at any hardware store).
REQUIRED MAINTENANCE
With use and normal wear over time, the motor assembly may loosen slightly.
If you notice abnormal noise or vibrations, tighten the cap screws(A)
( accessible behind the slide plates on both sides of the chuck), using the
supplied Allen key.
With use over time, some slight play may develop in head on the dovetail
way due to wear. To eliminate play between the head and the dovetail way,
loosen the lock nuts, and adjust the individual set screws as needed.
Re-tighten the lock nut(s) once the adjustment has been completed.
NOTE: Adjust only enough to eliminate play – do not over
tighten as this can stiffen or restrict head travel, requiring
more effort to complete the feed stroke and cause premature
wear of the dovetail way.
