Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning your drill press is relatively easy. 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.
Protect the unpainted cast iron table and base
by wiping it clean after every use—this ensures
moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare
metal surfaces. Keep the table and base rust-free
with regular applications of metal protectant prod-
ucts like SLIPIT
(see Figure 47 in Accessories
®
on Page 34).
Lubrication
An essential part of lubrication is cleaning the
components before lubricating them.
This step is critical because grime and chips build
up on lubricated components, which makes them
hard to move. Simply adding more lubricant will
not result in smooth moving parts.
Lubricate components with recommended prod-
ucts like those shown Figure 46 in Accessories
on Page 34.
