Maintenance
Disconnect machine from
power source before doing any maintenance.
Periodically clean the inside of the machine of
shavings and dust. This will increase machine
performance and extend its life.
Clean the spindle with compressed air.
Do not get oil on the pulleys and belts. If they
are dirty, use paper or a soft rag to clean and
dry them.
Never place the v-belt under excessive strain, as
this can overload the motor and damage the
bearings, spindle or belt.
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in
any way, have it replaced immediately.
The table surface must be kept clean and free of
rust for best results. Some users prefer a paste
wax coating. Another option is talcum powder
applied with a blackboard eraser rubbed in
vigorously once a week; this will fill casting
pores and form a moisture barrier. This method
provides a table top that is slick and allows rust
rings to be easily wiped from the surface.
Important also is the fact that talcum powder will
not stain wood or mar finishes as wax pickup
does.
Lubrication
Apply a drop of light machine oil occasionally on
the ledge and wall of the table opening to
facilitate the changing of table inserts.
The bearings in the motor are sealed for life and
do not require lubrication.
The spindle bearing should be lubricated every
200 hours of use by using the supplied grease
gun (A, Figure 35). Two grease fittings, one of
which (B, Figure 35) is shown, are supplied on
the spindle housing for this purpose. The other
grease fitting is directly opposite. Before
lubricating, clean grease fittings thoroughly and
then lubricate the spindle bearings with two
pumps of a good quality, non-hardening grease.
