SECTION 13:
ENGRAVING MACHINE
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT!
The single most important thing that you can do to keep your Radius working as if it were new
is to keep it clean! Five minutes once a day will keep the residue and debris from building up
and causing problems. There is virtually no maintenance required for your Radius if you
KEEP IT CLEAN!
EXHAUST: Make sure the exhaust blower you are using receives proper maintenance.
Periodically clean the exhaust blower and duct system to remove built-up debris. If you detect
odor while engraving, or if the smoke in the cabinet is visible in the area of the lens carriage,
inspect the exhaust system. Check for loose or broken pipe/hose connections, or obstructions.
BEARINGS: The bearing system on the Radius is designed to be maintenance free, with the
exception of periodic cleaning. No lubrication or adjustment should be required.
CLEANING: Periodically (once a week), the machine will benefit from a light cleaning. Use a
soft cloth and some hardware store alcohol. Open the large door and wipe down the bearing
surfaces first, while the cloth is still clean. These are shown with arrows in the photo. Please
clean these components thoroughly, along their entire length.
