Service Lubrication
On an annual basis, or every six months under

lubricate the headstock leadscrew and gears
with white lithium grease and a light machine
oil.
To lubricate the leadscrew and gears, do
these steps:
1. DISCONNECT THE MILL FROM POWER!
2. Use the hex wrench to remove the two
lower cap screws from the cabinet assem-
bly (see Figure 33).
3. Hold the cabinet assembly, and remove the
two upper cap screws (see Figure 33).
