In order to minimize wear on moving parts and to insure smoother operation and longer life for your magnetic drill, the following
maintenance should be done periodically, based on use.
1. Regularly tighten all fasteners and replace all worn parts.
2. Check motor brushes and replace if worn.
3. Check power cord and cord from panel to motor and, if cracked or frayed, return to an authorized repair center for replacement.
4. Apply grease to the slide dovetails, brass gibs, and the feed gear rack. For best results use Shell Cyprina-RA or equivalent.
5. Remove arbor (
see arbor removal on page 14
) and pack the bearing in the front support bracket with grease. Use Shell
Cyprina-RA or equivalent.
MAINTENANCE
ADJUSTMENT OF GIBS
1. Check gibs regularly to make certain they are
tight. Tighten as required.
2. Loosen all Gib Screws.
3. Feed the drill in and out a few times and then, with
top of motor slide flush with top of housing, tighten the
Gib Screws until you feel them touch the Steel Gib.
4. Feed the drill in and out again.
5. Adjust Gib Screws so that there is uniform pressure
from top to bottom. (Top of motor slide flush with top
of housing.)
6. Turn each Gib Screw in about 1/8 to 1/4 turn,
depending upon your preference.
7. Gibs should be tight enough so that slide moves up
and down smoothly with no wobble or shaking.
(Looseness will cause cutter breakage.)
NOTE: Gibs should be lubricated regularly.
ARBOR ADJUSTMENT
Adjust Gibs before adjusting front support bracket.
1. Arbor support bracket may become loose over time.
Check Arbor Support bolts regularly to make certain
they are tight. Tighten as required.
1. Loosen Arbor Support Bracket Bolts.
2. Be sure top of arbor is flush with the shoulder on
motor output shaft. Also make certain arbor is
securely fastened.
3. Turn feed handle until motor and spindle are at the
bottom of their travel.
4. Tighten Arbor Support Bolts.
5. Feed slide up and down a few times, checking for
free and uniform movement.
