8.0 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
8.1 Cleaning the Helical Racks
The helical racks on the SmartShop|Maker may collect dust and debris which can interfere with
the smooth operation of the gantry and spindle. Clean with a plastic brush following the angle of
the grooves. Lubricate with a thin layer of lithium grease; gently wipe away excess.
8.2 Cleaning the Spindle Tray
The spindle tray will accumulate oil and may drip onto the worktable or project if not kept clean.
To clean the tray, remove the four (4) Allen screws.
Replace and tighten Allen nuts until snug; do not over-tighten.
8.3 Lubrication
The pneumatic system does not need any type of lubricant. Some types of lubricant can damage
the machine and compromise its functionality.
8.4 Daily Maintenance Checks
1. Clean the machine and lubricate unpainted surfaces with a 30wt oil lubricant. Wipe off
excess oil and buff the surface dry with a soft rag. Regular cleaning and lubrication will
reduce the likelihood of rust forming on the machine.
2. Check the tool blades for chips and dullness.
3. Inspect the overall machine for damage and loose or worn parts.
4. Regularly clean the collets and spindle holes. Uncleaned spindle holes may affect cut quality
and may pose a safety hazard if significantly dirty.
5. Clean the router bits.
6. Inspect the tool blades for chips and dullness.
8.5 Weekly Maintenance Checks
1. Inspect the overall machine for damage and loose or worn parts.
