21 | Care and maintenance
Regular care and maintenance are essential for the long-term use of your pillar drill.
Danger!
Always disconnect the pillar drill from the power source before carrying out any maintenance
procedure.
Maintenance after each use
1. Clean the work area and the pillar drill.
2. Vacuum away shavings and dust from the headstock, table and base.
Monthly maintenance
1. Preserve exposed surfaces with appropriate agents (non-lubricating).
2. Check screws and nuts for tightness.
3. Clean all tapers to ensure a secure hold.
Half yearly maintenance
1. Lubricate the gear and the rack of the table elevation mechanism, spindle splines and grooves on the quill
with heat-resistant grease (e.g. red Stauffer grease).
2. Lubricate the spindle and quill shaft with a few drops of machine oil.
Attention!
• Cleaning rags or polishing wool soaked in oils, greases, solvents and cleaning agents are
flammable. Collect them in suitable closed metal containers.
• Oil-soaked cleaning rags or polishing wool tend to self-ignite and must be stored and disposed
of separately.
Danger!
• Have work on the electrical system carried out only by qualified electricians.
• Do not carry out work on electrical system components unless the main switch (if present) is
switched off and the power plug is disconnected. Do not leave the power plug unattended and
secure it against being plugged in again.
22 | Decommissioning
Please observe the following notes when preparing for final decommissioning:
• When decommissioning the
machine, adhere to the applicable
laws and regulations for disposal.
• Do not dispose of the machine or
parts of it together with domestic
waste.
• Dispose of all parts of the machine in such
a way that health and environmental
damages are excluded. Check which
materials can be recycled and recycle
them properly.
• Oils, greases, solvents and cleaning agents
are hazardous to the environment and must
not be disposed of in waste water or normal
household waste. Dispose of them at local
recycling centres. The same applies to
cleaning rags or polishing wool soaked in
oils, greases, solvents and cleaning agents.
Of course, you can also bring your defective machine to your local dealer.
