SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
Schedule
For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Ongoing
To maintain a low risk of injury and proper
machine operation, if you ever observe any of the
items below, shut down the machine immediately
and fix the problem before continuing operations:
•
Loose mounting bolts.
•
Worn or damaged wires.
•
Worn or damaged boring bits.
•
Any other unsafe condition.
Weekly Maintenance
•
Clean and lubricate headstock ways and
leadscrew.
•
Clean/grease hold down shaft.
Monthly Check
•
Lubricate boring head assembly.
•
Clean/vacuum dust buildup off motor.
Cleaning
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any
resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner
to remove it. Treat all unpainted steel with a non-
staining lubricant after cleaning.

Lubrication
It is essential to clean components before lubri-
cating them because dust and chips build up on
lubricated components and make them hard to
move. Simply adding more lubricant to them will
not yield smooth moving components.
Lubricate Boring Head Assembly
Use a grease gun to inject two pumps of multi-
purpose grease into each of the two grease fit-
tings, located on either end of the boring head
rear face (see Figure 34).

Always disconnect power
to the machine before per-
forming lubrication. Failure
to do this may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
