Spindle Lubrication (for Series 3 Vision Tables only)
The spindle assembly in the Series 3 Vision Tables requires a
monthly lubrication of the housing (as shown in Fig.9.5). Simply
push the spindle up until there is a 1/3” gap between the
spindle block and the “lip” of the housing. Lubricate with
2 to 3 drops of 3 in 1 oil.
DO NOT OVER LUBRICATE!
Never lubricate the spindle bearings!
This wil cause the spindle to stick.
