MAINTENANCE
-26-
M1102/M1103 16-Speed Drill Press
Table and Base
Tables can be kept rust-free with regular appli-
cations of oil or anti-rust products.
Lubrication
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
For other items on this machine, such as the
quill, table and column, horizontal and verti-
cal columns, an occasional application of light
machine oil is all that is necessary to maintain
smooth rust-free operation.
Before applying any lubricant, clean off the old
lubricant, and any sawdust or metal chips.
DO NOT over lubricate, your goal is to achieve
adequate lubrication. Too much lubrication will
attract dirt and sawdust, and various parts of
your machine could loose freedom of move-
ment.
