Lubrication
The only parts on this machine that require peri-
odic lubrication are the ways where the cartridge
slide rides on the elevation housing and where
the worm gears and bushings are located. Use a
light grease or anti-seizing compound on the
ways and worm gear, and give the shaft mount a
shot of light oil.
V-Belt
Avoid getting grease or oil on the V-belts or pul-
leys. Check the V-belts, as part of a monthly
inspection for proper tension and belt condition.
Cracking and glazing could result in belt failure.
Replace the belt if such conditions appear.
Schedule
Regularly blow out cabinet with compressed air
(always wear a dust mask when doing this) and
keep dust port clear.
For every 8 hours of use, clean and spray an
application of Boeshield
• Table
• Fence faces
For every 24 hours of use, clean and oil:
• Spindle columns and cartridges
• Offset adjustment mechanisms on fence
• All worm drive and other gears
Once a year, replace the V-belt.
