RIKON Power Tools 30-240 - Manual (Page 13)

Maintenance
To avoid injury due to unexpected starting, before cleaning or carring out maintenance
work, switch off and disconnect the drill press from the power source.
1. Never use water or other liquids to clean the drill press. Use a dry brush.
2. Regular maintenance of the drill press will prevent unnecessary problems.
3. Keep the table clean to ensure accurate cutting.
4. Keep the outside of the machine clean to ensure accurate operation of all moving parts and
prevent excessive wear.
5. Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate on the motor.
6. Apply paste wax to the table and column, to help keep the surface clean.
7. Check belts for wear and replace.
WARNING:
LUBRICATION
All of the ball bearings are packed with grease at the factory. They require no further lubrication.
Periodically lubricate the worm gear (part# 18A) in the table elevation mechanism, the rack bar
(part# 15A), and the spline (grooves) in the spindle (part#11B). This will keep the operation of the drill
press smooth.
