TOOL HOLDER
Clean the slide rails, the tool holder, and the feed components.
Inspect these parts for damage and replace as required.
Lubricate and reassemble.
Adjust the adjustable slide rail to provide a firm, but not excessive pressure on the
tool holder.
The slide rails must be overtightened to squeeze the oil into a thin film against the
male and female surfaces of the slide rails.
Reset for proper operation.
TRIPPER BRACKET ASSEMBLY LUBRICATION AND ADJUSTMENT
Back off the half-dog setscrew until it disengages from the tripper shaft.
Remove the tripper shaft assembly from the bracket and clean off all of the old
lubrication.
Apply fresh lubrication to the tripper shaft assembly and reinstall it in the bracket.
Screw in the half-dog setscrew until it locates itself in the slot on the tripper shaft.
Try turning the tripper shaft assembly to insure that the setscrew is in the slot of the
tripper shaft assembly and is preventing it from rotating.
LUBRICANT RECOMMENDATIONS
The drive gears require a heavy duty grease such as “Chevron Ultra Duty Grease,
EP, NLGI2”.
The slide rails and tool holder require a light oil such as SAE 10 light machine oil.
The tripper bracket assembly also requires a SAE 10 light machine oil for normal
conditions and under dusty conditions a silicone, graphite or molybdenum disulfide
‘dry’ lubricant.
A light film of all-purpose grease may be used, but it must be checked for grit
contamination frequently.
