Drill Doctor Maintenance - Drill Master 500X User Manual

10. Question:
Can I change a 135° drill bit into a 118° drill bit?
Answer:
While you can change the degree angle of any drill bit, they
will perform best when sharpened at the same angle they were
manufactured at.
Drill Doctor Maintenance
®
After sharpening 20 to 25 drill bits, the drill bit grinding dust will
accumulate in the grinding compartment. Grinding particles will
promote wear in the Sharpening Port and Chuck, so cleaning on a
consistent basis can add life to your machine.
Before any maintenance or cleaning is performed, be sure to
unplug your Drill Doctor.
Removing the Wheel Access Cover
With the Drill Doctor unplugged, slide the Wheel Access Cover
forward to remove. It will come completely off for easy access. To
close, insert the Cover back into the slots and snap back in place.
Cleaning Your Drill Doctor
®
With the Drill Doctor unplugged, shake accumulated drill
bit grinding dust from behind the Wheel Acess Cover into a
disposable container. Remove dust particles around the wheel
with a small, dry brush. Dispose of the container and drill bit dust
in a safe and environmentally approved manner. With a dry cloth
wipe the inside and outside of the Sharpening Port to remove any
grinding dust that may have accumulated. A standard 1" vacuum
hose works equally well.
Cleaning the Chuck
Brush out with a small, dry brush.
