SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE
To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
Schedule
For optimum performance from your rotary table,
follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily:
•
Clean and lubricate the rotary table.
•
Dress the machined surfaces.
•
Check/resolve any unsafe condition.
Monthly:
•
Disassemble and clean the rotary table.
Cleaning &
Protecting
It is essential that the rotary table be cleaned
after every use, and the surfaces oiled with a light
machine oil to prevent corrosion.
DO NOT use compressed air to clean your
rotary table. Chips or debris may become lodged
between the moving parts, reducing the life and
accuracy of the device. Instead, use a stiff-bristled
brush to remove the chips and swarf, then wipe
down the surfaces with a clean shop rag.
Every 80 hours of use, completely disassemble
the rotary table, then thoroughly clean each part
and relubricate.

Ball Oilers
Proper lubrication of ball oilers is done with a
pump-type oil can that has a plastic or rubber-
ized cone tip. We do not recommend using metal
needle or lance tips, as they can push the ball too
far into the oiler, break the spring seat, and lodge
the ball in the oil galley.
Lubricate the ball oilers before and after machine
use, and more frequently under heavy use. When
lubricating ball oilers, first clean the outside sur-
face to remove any dust or grime. Push the rub-
ber or plastic tip of the oil can nozzle against the
ball oiler to create a hydraulic seal, then pump the
oil can once or twice. If you see sludge and con-
taminants coming out of the lubrication area, keep
pumping the oil can until the oil runs clear. When
finished, wipe away any excess oil.
