For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and remove the plug from the power source outlet before maintaining
or lubricating your drill press.
WARNING:
MAINTENANCE
MAINTAINING YOUR DRILL PRESS
Frequently blow out using an air compressor or dust vacuum, any dust that accumulates inside the motor. A coat of paste wax applied
to the table and column will help keep the surface clean and help 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. Lower spindle to maximum
depth and oil moderately once every three months.
