Hey everyone, thanks for all of the feedback, I just saw that I had more posts in this discussion. Thanks so much for the advice Joe, I have a maintenance man at work that said something very similar, he told me to run it for about 30 seconds a couple times a day.
I don't know how to oil the machine and it didn't come with a manual but I bet I can puzzle it out.
I don't know if the machine is a good one yet as I haven't been able to use it yet, but it appears to be a very sturdy work-horse of a machine.
Thanks again everyone!
