Cleaning and
Protecting
Metal chips left on the machine that have been
soaked with water-based coolant will invite oxida-
tion and a gummy residue build-up around the
moving parts. Use a brush and shop vacuum to
remove chips and debris from the working sur-
faces of the mill/drill. Never blow off the mill/drill
with compressed air, as this will force metal chips
deep into the mechanisms and may cause injury
to yourself or bystanders.
Remove any rust build-up from unpainted cast
iron surfaces of your mill/drill and treat with a non-
staining lubricant after cleaning.
Keep unpainted cast iron surfaces rust-free with
regular applications of ISO 68 way oil (see
Page 30 for offerings from Grizzly).

Lubrication

An essential part of lubrication is cleaning the
components before lubricating them.
This step is critical because grime and chips build
up on lubricated components, which makes them
hard to move. Simply adding more lubricant will
not result in smooth moving parts.
Clean all exterior components in this section with
mineral spirits, shop rags, and brushes before
lubricating.
DISCONNECT MACHINE
BEFORE PERFORMING LUBRICATION!
NOTICE
Follow reasonable lubrication practices as
outlined in this manual. Failure to do so
could lead to premature failure of your
machine and will void the warranty.
