SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the
machine
before performing main-
tenance. Failure to do
this may result in serious
personal injury.
Schedule
For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Ongoing
To maintain a low risk of injury and proper
machine operation, if you ever observe any of the
items below, shut down the machine immediately
and fix the problem before continuing operations:
•
Clean table, boring head assembly, and
motor of sawdust and resin.
•
Check for loose mounting bolts.
•
Check for worn or damaged boring bits.
•
Check for worn or damaged wires.
•
Check for any other unsafe condition.
Monthly Maintenance:
•
Lubricate boring head assembly.
•
Lubricate pivot points.
•

Cleaning
Cleaning the Model G0718 is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any
resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner
to remove it. Treat all unpainted steel with a non-
staining lubricant after cleaning.
Lubrication
It is essential to clean components before lubri-
cating them because dust and chips build up on
lubricated components and make them hard to
move. Simply adding more lubricant to them will
not yield smooth moving components.
Clean the components in this section with mineral
spirits, a rag, or a bristle brush as directed.
The following are the main components that
need to be lubricated:
•
Headstock slides
•
Depth and throat adjustment shafts.
•
Pivot points
•
Boring head assembly
Always disconnect power
to the machine before per-
forming lubrication. Failure
to do this may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
