8.7 LUBRICATION (PART 1)
The headstock and gearbox are splash-lubricated from an
internal reservoir of oil (Shell Tellus 27). Check the oil level
constantly to the mark on the oil sight window in the front
end face of the headstock and gearbox. A weekly check is
recommended. The oil should be changed every year. Add
oil through a filler cap in the top of the headstock and gear-
box is covered by the end-guard. Drain from a drain plug in
the bottom of the headstock and gearbox.
The apron is lubricated from an internal reservoir of oil. The
oil sight window is in the front of the apron. A filler cap is in
the top of the saddle. Refill the reservoir to the level of the
oilsight with Shell Tonna oil 33. The apron can be drained
by unscrewing a hexheaded drain plug in the bottom.

8.8 LUBRICATION (PART 2)
In addition, an oil gun is provided for the saddle, cross-
slide, cross-slide nut and top-slide (compound slide) to oil.
Leadscrew using an oil gun can be oiled with light machine
oil or way lubricant.
On the tailstock, oil points are provided for daily attention
from a standard oil can.
It is recommended that all slideways, leadscrew and feed
shaft are cleaned off (a bristle paint brush is useful for this)
and lightly oiled after each period of work.
Note: Using incorrect grade of oil can cause
damage.
