Maintenance
Note:
Maintenance generally includes cleaning up (vacuuming or blowing debris from the machine) af-
ter cuts are done. The motor drive screws are Teflon coated – DO NOT lubricate them, as the lubricant
will cause the machine to not run properly.
Item/Duration
Maintenance
Motor Screws
Wipe screws with a clean dry cloth.
DO NOT USE
any kind of lube or solvent-based
cleaner on the Teflon coated screws. Doing so
could cause the Teflon to flake off.
Rails
Wipe them with a clean, dry rag,
Apply a light coat of a machine oil. Wipe off ex-
cess oil as too much will attract dust.
After every 40 hours of use
Check for loose screws and parts.
On an as needed basis
Remove the clear plastic enclosure from the back
of the machine and gently blow out any dust
that has accumulated in the control area.
This is
especially true
if cutting aluminum.
Prior to inserting a new bit
Wipe clean collets, collet nuts and collet end of
arbor. Apply a light coat of machine oil with an oil
damped rag (not soaked or dripping).
NOTE:
Damage or wear due to misuse or an accident will require additional attention depending on
the problem.
