LUBRICATION
WARNING
!
Turn the power switch OFF and unplug the power cord
from its power source.
The drill press has sealed lubricated bearings in the
motor housing that do not require any additional lubrica-
tion from the operator.
The quill and spindle assemblies should be periodically
lubricated. Lower the quill assembly and squirt or wipe
a thin film of lightweight machine oil on the entire sur-
face. Place a few drops of light machine oil down the
spindle assembly. Raise and lower the quill several
times to distribute the oil evenly.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING
With the drill press unplugged, blow off motor with low-
pressure air to remove dust or dirt. Air pressure above
50 P. S. I. should not be used as high-pressured air
may damage insulation. The operator should always
wear eye protection when using compressed air.
Do not use a shop vacuum to clean metal shavings.
The metal shavings can cause an explosion or fire.
Do not allow chips and dust to accumulate under drill
press. Keep area clean and in safe order.
WARNING
!
DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS to clean the
drill press.
After cleaning, apply a good quality paste wax to any
unpainted surfaces. Make sure to buff out the wax
before operation.
WARNING
!
ONLY trained personnel should perform repairs to the
drill press. Unauthorized repairs or replacement with
non-factory parts could cause serious injury to the
operator and damage to the drill press.
