Maintenance
Lubrication: The Foredom Bench Lathe has
pre-lubricated ball bearings and a dust-proof
motor housing and does not require any
lubrication. The motor is designed to operate
above room temperature which will be warm to
the touch but not harmful to the motor.
Brush Wear: Disconnect power cord before
checking for brush wear. Check for brush
wear periodically (about every 200 hours of
continuous operation). Unscrew the brush tube
caps, check the brush length, and install new
brushes if the old ones are less then 3/16 ″
(4.7mm) in overall length. Be sure that the
radius in the end of the brush is in line and
conforms to the commutator surface.
Replacement brushes (MP 262 P) are available
from your dealer, the factory, or you may order
them online from www.foredom.com.
