Tooling removal:

Wedge removal tool

Before removing the chuck or bit from the

machine, be sure the spindle has come to
a complete stop and power is off. If needed
rotate spindle by hand to align the spindle
and quill openings. Insert the wedge
removal tool, while supporting the tooling
tap the wedge to remove the tooling.
Work holding:
When drilling directly on table surface, it is recommended that a
piece of wood or plywood be clamped securely to table under the
work piece. This will minimize splintering or burring as drill breaks
through work. It will help minimize drill bit and table damage.
Clamp work piece to the table when ever possible. Table has T
slots that allow for many different clamping configurations.
When part cannot be affixed to the table a drill vise that is bolted to
the table must be used to hold work piece safely.
8. MAINTENANCE OF MACHINE

MAINTENANCE
1. On a regular basis blow out any dust that may accumulate inside
the motor. (Frequency depends on environment the machine is
in)
2. A coat of automotive wax applied to the table and column will help
to keep the surface clean.
3. If the power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately.
4. All of the ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory. They
require no further lubrication.
5. Periodically lubricate the gear and rack table elevation
mechanism, the spindle splines and the rack (teeth on the quill).
6. After each use the machine should be cleaned. Weekly
lubrication of all sliding or moving parts with light weight or way oil
