Maintenance
Before doing maintenance on
the machine, disconnect it from the electrical
supply and the air supply, and release any
residual air from the lines. Failure to comply
may cause serious injury.
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in
any way, have it replaced immediately.
The horizontal and vertical tables and other
exposed metal parts should be kept clean and
free of rust. A coat of paste wax will help protect
the tables from tarnishing.
After each day’s use, brush or blow out dust and
debris from the cutter, table, motor, etc.
Keep the clamping cylinders clean to prevent
debris adhering to them, which can scar
workpieces.
Keep clean the travel rods upon which the
headstock slides.
Lubrication
The linear bushings by which the headstock
travels on the rods are pre-lubricated and
sealed; they do not require additional lubrication.
The spindle bearing should be lubricated as
needed, according to machine usage. Apply VG-
120 grease through the grease nipple on the
spindle (#10 in the exploded view on page 32).
Occasionally check the oil level in the oil
regulator cup (see Figure 27). Add more oil as
needed. Use standard air tool oil.
