Lubrication
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubricat-
ed, simply leave them alone until they need to be
replaced. Do not lubricate them.
An essential part of lubrication is cleaning the components
before lubricating them.
This step is critical because grime, chips, and dust build
up on lubricated components, which makes them hard to
move. Simply adding more lubricant will not result in
smooth moving parts.

Lubrication Type ............................... ISO 68 Way Oil
Lubrication Amount .................................. Thin Coat
Lubrication Frequency .................. 8 Hrs. of Operation
Move the spindle all the way down to access the smooth
surfaces of the quill (see
Figure
38
). Adjust table height
as necessary to access entire length of column (see
Figure
39
). Clean both with mineral spirits and shop rags.
Note:
Avoid removing the grease from the column and
quill racks during cleaning.
After cleaning, allow mineral spirits to dry, then apply a
thin coat of oil to the surfaces.
