MAINTENANCE
WIRING DIAGRAM
This machine must be grounded. Replacement of the power supply cable should only
be done by a qualified electrician. See page 5 for additional electrical information.
1. Before each use:
- Check the power cord and plug for any wear or
damage.
- Check for any loose screws or hardware.
- Check the area to make sure it is clear of any
misplaced tools, lumber, cleaning supplies, etc.
that could hamper the safe operation of the drill
press.
2. To avoid a build-up of wood dust, regularly
clean all parts of the machine using a soft cloth,
brush or compressed air. A general cleaning
should be done after every use to avoid future
problems and ensure the machine is in ready
condition for the next time it is used.
WARNING:
If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye
protection to prevent debris from blowing into
eyes.
Turn the power switch “OFF” and disconnect the plug from the outlet prior
to adjusting or maintaining the machine. DO NOT attempt to repair or maintain the electrical
components of the motor. Contact a qualified service technician for this type of maintenance.
3. Keep the table, column and base free of
resin and rust. Clean them regularly with a non-
flammable solvent, then coat with a light film of
dry lubricant spray, or wax, to keep their surfaces
clean. Do not use ordinary oil which will collect
dust and hamper the operation of the machine.
4. All of the ball bearings are lifetime lubricated,
sealed, and do not need any further care. Keep
the drive belts free of oil and grease.
5. Check the belt tension after the first 3-5 hrs.
of operation to ensure that the belts have not
become stretched and loose from their 'breaking
in' use. See page 12 for instructions.
NOTE:
Refer to pages 3 - 6 for more information
on proper machine usage and user safety.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a 120 volt electrical receptacle.
The illustration on page 5 shows the type of the 120V, 3-wire electrical plug and
electrical receptacle that has a grounding conductor that is required.
