follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any
specific instructions given in this section.
Daily Check

Cleaning &
Protecting
Sawdust, wood chips, and metal chips left on the
machine will invite oxidation and a gummy residue
buildup around the moving parts. Use a brush and
shop vacuum to remove chips and debris from the
working surfaces of the drill. Never blow off the
drill with compressed air, as this will force metal
chips deep into the mechanisms and may cause
injury to yourself or bystanders.
Remove any rust build-up from unpainted cast-
iron surfaces of your drill and treat them with a
non-staining lubricant after cleaning.
Keep unpainted cast-iron surfaces rust-free
with regular applications of products like G96
Gun Treatment, SLIPIT
Accessories on Page 30).
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.
Clean all exterior components in this section with
mineral spirits, shop rags, and brushes before
lubricating.
