Cleaning &
Protecting
Use a brush and shop vacuum to remove chips
and debris from the mill. Never blow off the mill
with compressed air, as this will force metal chips
deep into the mechanisms and may injure your-
self or bystanders.
Wipe built-up grime from the mill with a rag and a
mild solvent. Remove any rust from the unpainted
cast iron surfaces of your mill, then treat them with
regular applications of products such as G96
Gun Treatment, SLIPIT
Section 5: Accessories on Page 24 for more
details).
Lubrication
Your mill has numerous moving metal-to-metal
contacts that require proper lubrication to help
ensure efficient and long-lasting mill operation.
Other than lubrication points covered in this sec-
tion, all other bearings are internally lubricated
and sealed at the factory. Simply leave them
alone unless they need to be replaced.
Before adding lubricant, clean debris and grime
from the devices to avoid contaminating the new
lubrication.
DISCONNECT THE MILL FROM POWER
BEFORE PERFORMING LUBRICATION!
