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 main-
tenance or cleaning is performed, be sure to disconnect your
Drill Doctor.
Removing the Wheel Access Cover
With the Drill Doctor unplugged, use your nail or the tip of your
finger to pull the Wheel Access Cover forward. It will come com-
pletely off for easy access. To close, insert the Cover in the slots and
snap it back into place.
Cleaning the Drill Sharpener
With the Drill Doctor unplugged, shake accumulated drill
bit grinding dust from behind the Wheel Access 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
Unscrew the Knob from the body and clean both threads with a
soft brush or cotton swab. Re-assemble the Chuck and operate the
Knob through its travel to ensure it turns freely. When the Knob is
removed, be careful not to lose the small springs that separate the
Chuck Jaws.
Cleaning the Knife and Tool Sharpener
Note: Do not use compressed air to clean the tool. This could force
particles into the internal electronics and spread dust particles
into the air.
Unplug the Drill Doctor and remove the 20° knife guide or the
tool guide whichever is installed. Shake accumulated grinding
dust into a metal container that doesn't contain flammable items.
Remove dust particles from the sharpener and the guide surfaces
with a small dry brush. Dispose of the container and dust particles
in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.
Inspection
Unplug the Drill Doctor. Inspect the power cord for signs nicks,
cuts or deterioration. Inspect the guides and guards for signs of
wear or cracking. Inspect the retaining knob and hub for cracks or
damage. Insure the knob is finger tight (left-hand thread). Inspect
the retaining nut and grinding wheel for loosening, defects or
damage (right-hand thread). If any defect or excess wear is found,
discontinue use immediately and contact Drill Doctor for service.
