FEEDING

MAINTAINING YOUR DRILL PRESS

For your own safety, turn the switch "OFF" and

remove the plug from the power source outlet before

maintaining or lubricating your drill press.

Frequently blow out, using an air compressor or dust

vacuum, any dust that accumulates inside the motor.

A coat of automotive paste wax applied to the table

and column will help to keep the surface clean & help

to avoid rust.

To avoid shock or fire hazard, if the power cord is worn or

cut in any way, have it replaced immediately.

LUBRICATION

All of the drill press ball bearings are packed with

grease at the factory. They require no further

lubrication.

Periodically lubricate the gear and rack for table

elevation mechanism, spindle and the rack (teeth) of

the quill.
