Maintaining Your Drill Press

Maintenance

To reduce the risk of injury, turn

power switch “OFF” and remove plug

from the power source outlet before maintaining or

lubricating your drill press.
Frequently blow out or vacuum sawdust or metal chips

that accumulate in and on the motor, pulley housing,

table, and work surface.
A coat of furniture-type paste wax applied to the table,

column, and machined parts of the base will help to

keep these surfaces clean.
The ball bearings in the spindle and the V-belt pulley

assembly are greased and permanently sealed. Pull the

spindle down and oil the spindle sleeve moderately

every three months.

Certain cleaning agents and solvents

damage plastic parts. Some of these

are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning

solvents, ammonia and household detergents that

contain ammonia. Avoiding use of these and other

types of cleaning agents minimizes the probability of

damage.
To avoid shock or fire hazard, if the power cord is worn,

cut or damaged in any way, have it replaced

immediately.

All repairs, electrical or mechanical,

should be attempted only by trained

repairmen. Contact the nearest Skil Factory Service

Center, Authorized Skil Service Station or other com-

petent repair service. Use only Skil replacement parts;

any other may create a hazard.
