6. MAINTENANCE
The linear guide trucks are illed with grease at the factory. Under infrequent
or light duty use the factory lube is suficient for several months. It is important
that the axes are cycled to their full travel daily to coat the linear guides with
grease in order to protect the surfaces.
More severe use, such as cutting absorbent materials (such as wood), or
excessive coolant use (which washes the linear guides), will require weekly
greasing - Two strokes of the supplied grease gun is suficient. Do not over
grease, as the excessive pressure of over-greasing or using a pneumatic or an
electrical grease gun is harmful to the seals. It is not necessary to see grease
squeezing out of the seals.
Use a synthetic grease with an NLGI grade of 1.5 or 2.
