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 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 31 for offerings from Grizzly).
NOTICE
The recommended lubrication is based on
light-to-medium usage. Since lubrication
helps to protect value and operation of
machine, these lubrication tasks may need
to be performed more frequently than rec-
ommended, depending on usage.
Failure to follow reasonable lubrication
practices as instructed in this manual could
lead to premature failure of machine com-
ponents and will void the warranty.
