(1) Your machine has been coated with a heavy grease to protect it in
shipping. This coating should be completely removed before operating
the machine. Commercial degreaser, kerosene or similar solvent may
be used to remove the grease from the machine, but avoid getting
solvent on belts or other rubber parts.
(2) After cleaning, coat all bright work with a light lubrication. Lubricate all
points with a medium consistency machine oil.
LLUUBBRRIICCAATTIIOONN:
All ball bearings in your mill/drill are sealed for life, requiring no
lubrication. Points requiring lubrication are:
(1)Internal spline drive assembly. Keep this area well lubricated with a good
grade grease , insert grease in the hole at the top of spindle pulley spline
driver, lube twice yearly.
(2)A light film of oil applied to the quill and column will reduce wear, prevent
rust, and assure ease of operation.
(3)Quill return spring should receive oil once yearly. Remove cover plate
and apply oil with squirt can or small brush.
(4)IMPORTANT: The gear box should be oiled with a lubricant such as sae
68 oil in level. CHANGE OIL EVERY ONE YEAR.
(5)Apply lubricant to quill pinion every 90 days.
NOTE: use extreme care when performing this operation and keep

hands clear of pinch points. When using paraffin bar, do this only by
turning the sheaves by hand. Do not apply with motor running.

Check all parts for proper condition before operation; if normal safety
precautions are noticed carefully, this machine can provide you
withstanding of accurate service.
(1) Before Operation
(a) Fill the lubricant
(b) In order to keep the accurate precision, the table must be free from
dust and oil deposits.
(c) Check to see that the tools are correctly set and the workpiece is set
firmly.
(d) Be sure the speed is not set too fast.
(e) Be sure everything is ready before use
(2) After Operation
(a) Turn off the electric switch.
(b) Turn down the tools.
(c) Clean the machine and coat it with lubricant.
(d) Cover the machine with cloth to keep out the dust.
(3) Adjustment of head
(a) To raise and lower the head, loosen the leaf screw located on the
right side of the raise and lower base. When the desired height is
reached tighten leaf screw to avoid vibration.
(b) Head may be rotated 360°by loosening the same bolts mentioned
above. Adjust the head to the desired angle, then fix the heavy duty
head locknuts, It is tighten the same to fix the head if drilling &milling
too much.
(c) Unscrew 3 nuts while the workpiece needs to be drilled. Turn to the
degrees you wish on the scale, then screw the 3 nuts.
(4) Adjustment of the lifting table
(a) Loosening the locking handles, rocking the crank to move the lifting
table up and down along the column, when arrived the height of your
request, tighten the handles to prevent loose.

(b) When need to working large parts, loosening the locking handles,
rotating the lifting table of 180°, then tighten the handles, and
place the part on the base to work on it.
Spring tension for return of spindle, after hole drilling, has been pre-set
at the factory. No further adjustment should be attempted unless absolutely
necessary. Adjustment will probably be required if a multiple spindle drilling
or tapping head is used. If adjustment is necessary, loosen lock screw while
holding quill spring housing. Do not allow the housing to turn in your hand,or
spring will unwind. Turn entire housing assembly clockwise the number of
turns necessary to cause the quill to return to its up position.(NOTE: The flat
of the spring housing pilot is lined up with the spring loading hole on the
body of the spring housing.) Reset lockscrew make sure point of
screw mates the flat on the housing journal.

(1) Your machine is equipped with jib strip adjustment to compensate for
wear and excess slack on cross and longitudinal travel.
(2) Clockwise rotation the job strip bolt with a big screw for excess slack
otherwise a little counter clockwise if too tight.
(3) Adjust the jib strip bolt until feel a slight drag when shifting the table.
(1) When milling longitudinal feed. It is advisable to lock the cross feed
table travel to insure the accuracy of your work. To do this, tighten the
small leaf screw located on the right side of the table base.
(2) To tighten the longitudinal feed travel of the table for cross feed milling,
tighten the two small leaf screw on the front of the table base.
(3) Adjustable travel stops are provided on the front of the table for control
of cross travel and the desired milling length.

(1) Removing Face Mill or Drill Chuck Arbor
Loosen the arbor bolt at the top of the spindle shaft approximately 2
turns with a wrench. Rpa the top of the arbor bolt with a mallet.
After taper has been broken loose, holding chuck arbor on hand and turn
detach the arbor bolt with the other hand.
(2)To install Face Mill or Cutter Arbor
Insert cutter and cutter arbor bolt detach securely, but do not
over-tighten.
(3)Removing Taper Drills
(a) Turn down the arbor bolt and insert the taper drill into the spindle
shaft.
(b) Turn the rapid down handle rod down until the oblong hole in the rack
sleeve appears. Line up this hole with the hole in the spindle. Insert
key punch key through holes and strike lightly with a mallet. This will
force the taper drill out.
