this , you are only needed to turn off the screw of oil drain plug under the front side of headstock to draw
off the lube filled in for test run, to carefully wash out the reside with coat and to fill the headstock with a
certain amount of lube again, From then on, the lubrication oil should be changed at regular intervals.
Please see the regulations in Table 3 for further details.
6.2 Every day before work, you should lubricate the machine according to the requirements of the machine for
lubrication. And you should often check the oil level of the spindle box. If the lube drops down below the
oil level glass, you should fill the spindle box with lube up to the same height of the oil lever. But never be
allowed to fill it up, with lube in order to avoid the overflow of lube.
6.3 In use, he chip falling onto the sliding surface should be cleaned out in good time to prevent the chip from
falling down between the sliding surface of the saddle rail on the machine bed, and to prevent it from
damaging those surface. You must clean and wash the four anti-dusting felts attached on both ends of the
saddle at regular intervals in order to keep them having a fine effect of anti-rusting.
6.4 After having done the work every day, you should immediately clean out the chip. And you should wipe all
the parts of the machine, and spread the machine oil on the sliding surface of guide rail and the open
surface of non-working range so as to keep them from rust.
6.5 In order to keep a high working accuracy of the machine, you should take special care of the center, the
stop plane on the chuck of spindle, the sliding guide rail, the inner tapered hole of spindle ,and the
installation plane of slide plate. And you must prevent the machinery of all these parts from being
damaged and worn because of the unreasonable use.
