Lubrication

An essential part of lubrication is cleaning the
components before lubricating them.
This step is critical because grime and chips build
up on lubricated components over time, which
makes them hard to move.
Clean all exterior components in this section with
mineral spirits, shop rags, and brushes before
lubricating.
DISCONNECT MACHINE

outlined in this manual. Failure to do so
could lead to premature failure of machine
