5.1 MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY
A careful maintenance makes the machine life longer and keeps the machining fea -
tures unchanged. An important safety factor for the machine and the operator is a gen-
eral accurate cleaning of the machine and the surrounding area; in the evening, at the
end of the works, it is advisable to clean by means of a vacuum-cleaner.
The parts to be lubricated are:
a) upper bearing of the spindle turret, use the suitable grease nipple (fig. 37) with
grease BEACON 326 by Esso, do not use different grease; if it is difficult to find,
ask the manufacturer for it, provide for the lubrication every 500 working hours
using not more than 15 g of grease;
b) spindle turret, clean the spindle turret at least once a week with products which
are not dangerous or harmful for the environment or the people; then, lubricate
with medium viscosity mineral oil.
