Cleaning and
Protecting
Metal dust left on the machine will invite oxida-
tion and residue build-up around the moving
parts. Use a brush and shop vacuum to remove
dust and debris from the working surfaces of the
machine. Never blow off the machine with com-
pressed air, as this will force metal dust deep into
the mechanisms and may cause injury to yourself
or bystanders.
Remove any rust buildup from unpainted cast iron
surfaces of your machine and treat with a non-
staining lubricant after cleaning.
Keep unpainted cast iron surfaces rust-free with
regular applications of the same ISO 32 oil used
for the ball oilers.

Lubrication

The tool grinder has metal-to-metal sliding sur-
faces that require regular lubrication to maintain
smooth movement and ensure long-lasting opera-
tion.
Other than the lubrication points covered in this
section, all other bearings are internally lubricated
and sealed at the factory. Simply leave them
alone unless they need to be replaced.
