After Each Use
Remove all metal shavings from the machine and thoroughly clean all surfaces. The machine
should be cleaned with a clean oilcloth. For parts that rust easily, especially the finely ground parts,
keep a layer of oil or grease film on them for protection.
Make sure that the compound switch and the pushbutton switch are both in the off position. Such
preventive measures reduce the risk of starting the machine accidentally when used next.
Store the machine when it won’t be used for a long time. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the
reach of children. Inspect the machine for good working condition prior to storage and before
re-use.
Components should be dry, and all machined surfaces should be lightly oiled. Always remove
cutting tools and chucks before storage. Store them separately but with the machine.
Maintenance
WARNING:
Put the power switches in the off positions before making any adjustments or changing
accessories. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the machine accidentally.
Maintain the milling and drilling machine by adopting a program of conscientious repair and
maintenance in accordance with the following recommended procedures. It is recommended that
the general condition of any tool be examined before it is used. Keep your tool in good repair. Keep
all cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. The
following chart is based on a normal operation schedule.
Note:
This machine is a highly finished precision tool. The bearing surfaces of the bench and below the
lower slide are hand-lapped. If there are any rusty spots or knock-out on the rails, or any cutting chips
deposited between the closely jointing sections, the precision accuracy of the machine can be affected.
