MAINTENANCE
Before performing any maintenance ensure that the machine is LOCKED OUT and
unplugged.
Special maintenance operations must be carried out by skilled personnel. However, we advise
contacting DAKE. The term special maintenance also covers resetting of protection/safety
equipment and devices.
•
On a regular basis, blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the motor (frequency
depends on environment the machine is in).
•
A coat of automotive wax needs to be applied to the table and column to help keep the
surface clean.
•
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way have it replaced immediately.
•
All ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory and require no further lubrication.
•
Periodically lubricate the gear and rack table elevation mechanism, the spindle splines
and rack (teeth on quill).
•
After each use the machine should be cleaned.
•
Weekly lubrication of all sliding or moving parts with light weight or way oil is
recommended.
