Cleaning spindle cap A
1. Touch and hold down the Collet Cleaning button.
A message appears and shows the number of hours
remaining before a scheduled cleaning is needed.
2. Touch Yes to continue.
The tools are automatically placed in the tool changer and
the bellows are moved out of the way. The lid pops open
when ready.
3. Use the hex wrench side of the collet tool to remove the
(4) 3 mm screws from the spindle cap and remove the
spindle cap and gasket. Ensure the gasket has been
removed along with the spindle cap. Sometimes it sticks
to the spindle housing.
4. Remove the collet using the other side of the collet tool. If
the spindle is turning instead of the collet, use the 12 mm
side of the silver collet wrench to hold the spindle in place
while you loosen the collet.
5. Rinse the collet and use the small silver wire brush to
clean the inside, running it through a couple of times.
NOTE
Make sure not to bend the brush.
6. Clean outside of the collet as well. Any debris on the collet
will cause the tool to not fit properly.
