7� Maintenance
7�1 Cleaning
After each use, clean the portal milling machine from dust and chips with a vacuum cleaner (makeshift with a
large, soft brush). Greasy residues on the mounting surface can be removed with a cloth and benzine or brake
cleaner. However, keep these resources away from all parts of the axis guides and the drive.
The flat parts made of aluminum do not require any special care.
7�2 Lubrication
With normal use, the portal milling machine should
be lubricated every six months, but at the latest af-
ter twelve months. To do this, proceed as follows:
Note:
On the subject of lubrication

All axes
• When removing excess grease, wipe the precision shafts of the roller guide with a rag to counteract the
build-up of flash rust.
X axis
• Remove the Z-axis reference angle.
• Remove the end plate of the Z-axis with the milling spindle installed in it.
• Loosen the spindle-side clamping screw in the drive coupling of the Z-axis.
•
Lift the guide profile of the Z-axis up and out of the roller guide.
• Lubricate the spindle nut of the X-axis with a grease gun, as shown in Figure 1.
• Remove excess fat with a rag.
• Build the Z-axis parts back into place.
