Lubrication
Regular periodic maintenance on your SHOP FOX
M1012 will ensure its optimum performance. Make a
habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it.
There are four main areas to maintain on the Model
M1012: 1) The unpainted cast iron surfaces, 2) the hing-
es for the hold down and bending leaf assemblies, 3) the
setback knob threads, and 4) counterweight threads.
Cast Iron Surfaces: To prevent rust, all unpainted
•
cast iron surfaces on the Model M1012 should be
regularly maintained with a surface protectant.
Hinges: There are four hinges on the M1012—two
•
for the clamping leaf and two for the bending leaf.
These hinges are equipped with ball valve oil ports
(Figure 27). Use an oil can with 30W non-detergent
machine oil, and insert 5–6 drops into each port;
repeat this as needed or every week, depending on
use. Make sure to wipe up any excess oil to avoid
build up of dust and grime.
•
Setback Knob Threads: The threads on the setback
knobs (Figure 28) may need an occasional dab of
white lithium grease. The setback threads are easi-
est to reach if the setback is moved all the way
forward or all the way backward. For best results,
move the setback all the way back and forth one
time after applying the grease; grease the threads
as needed to maintain smooth operation from the
knobs.
Counterweight Threads: The threads on the coun-
•
terweight shafts may need an occasional dab of
white lithium grease to keep them in good working
order. After applying grease, turn the lock collars up
the length of the shaft to evenly coat the threads.
