Inspect the Machine
To maximize the life of the machine, keep all components of the machine in clean, working
order. Make sure parts such as each mounting surface, the lead screw, hydraulic fittings, and
the tool bit itself are free of metal chips, nicks or burrs.
For detailed information about machine maintenance, see “Maintenance.”
Remove the Motor
Do not install the motor to the machine until you are ready to begin machining. The motor
mounted to the machine can make setup of the machine unnecessarily complicated.
