Maintenance
WARNING: For your own safety, turn switch "OFF"
and remove plug from power source outlet before
maintaining or lubricating your drill press.
Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside
the motor.
A coat of automotive type paste wax applied to the table
and column will help to keep the surfaces clean.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock or fire haz-
ard, if the power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in
any way, have it replaced immediately.

Lubrication

All of the ball bearings are packed with grease at the fac-
tory. They require no further lubrication.
Periodically lubricate the table elevation mechanism, the
splines (grooves) in the spindle, and the rack (teeth of the
quill). See "Getting to Know Your Drill Press".
