Drill Doctor Maintenance - DRILL DOCTOR XP Guia Del Usuario

Drill Doctor ® Maintenance
After sharpening 20 to 25 drill bits, the drill bit grinding
dust will accumulate in the grinding compartment. Grind-
ing particles will promote wear in the Sharpening Port
and Chuck, so cleaning on a consistent basis can add life
to your machine. Before any maintenance or cleaning is
performed, be sure to disconnect your Drill Doctor.
Removing the Wheel Access Cover
With the Drill Doctor ® unplugged, use your nail or the
tip of your finger to pull the Wheel Access Cover down. It
will come completely off for easy access. To close, insert
the Cover in the slots and snap it back into place.
Cleaning Your Drill Doctor
With the Drill Doctor ® unplugged, shake accumulated
drill bit grinding dust from behind the Wheel Cover into a
disposable container. Remove dust particles around the
wheel with a small, dry brush. Dispose of the container
and drill bit dust in a safe and environmentally approved
manner. With a dry cloth wipe the inside and outside of
the Sharpening Port to remove any grinding dust that may
have accumulated. A standard 1" vacuum hose works
equally well.
You can also use the Grit Tube attachment as shown on
page 15.
Cleaning the Chuck
With compressed air, blow out the Chuck from the Knob
end or brush out with a small, dry brush.
