V. MAINTENANCE
Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the motor. A coat of car wax applied to the table and
column will help to keep the surfaces clean. If the power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately.
Lubrication
All of the BALL BEARINGS are packed with grease at the factory. They require no further lubrication.
Periodically lubricate the gear and rack table elevation mechanism, the SPLINES (grooves) in the spindle, and
the RACK (teeth on the quill).
