Machine chips are caught in the screened drawer above the
oil reservoir. The drawer should be emptied as required during
the machining run and at the end of the day.

At the end of each day 15 minutes should be put aside to
drain the oil and clean out the oil reservoir.

Maintenance

The oil is drained by loosening and removing the drain plug
at the bottom of the oil reservoir. A bucket and crescent
wrench is provided to accomplish this.

Let the oil sit in the bucket overnight to allow the metal
fines to settle out. Next morning, slowly pour the oil back
into the bar threader and clean out the bucket.

After the oil is drained, a piece of cardboard or putty knife
can be used to scrape the chips out of the oil reservoir.
