REGULAR MAINTENANCE
1.
2. The motor slides are made of brass; they should be protected from contamination and periodically
lubricated with good multi-purpose grease.
3. The motor slides and spring inserts should be inspected and replaced if they have become worn, or damaged
in any way.
4. Keep the magnet clean and free of chips, oil or other contaminants.
5. Inspect arbor, sleeve and support bracket for visible wear.
6. The cutting speed should be kept in such a way as not to cause any substantial decrease in motor speed.
7. Non-coolant cutting is not recommended, but if such a case occurs the co-acting parts of arbor should be
lubricated from time to time with good multi-purpose grease.
8. Inspect motor brushes and replace after extended periods of machine usage.
9. Replace any worn parts and tighten fasteners that become loose during daily usage.
The motor slide may become loose and require adjustment after the machine has been in use for the first
few weeks. Loosen the 4 locking nuts ; bring the motor slide into the full down position. Using a hex key,
equally tighten 4 adjustment screws, working from the center frame position to top and bottom. Proper
adjustment would mean the 3-spoke handle controlling the motor slide should stay in whatever position you
bring it in to (no drifting down off the slide). When all 4 hex screws have been adjusted, tighten 4 locking
nuts to maintain adjustment. This adjustment should be required very infrequently because of the precision
of the machine.
