8.

Clean thoroughly ball screws. During machining protect the ball screws from the metal chip
particles. Keep them clean all the time.

9.

Wipe clean all the grease from the machine and oil all the moving parts.

Installation

The machine has four threaded holes on the bottom of the base. It is recommended to install leveling legs
or 3/8”-16 screws to level the machine on sturdy surface. Alternatively it is possible to bolt the machine
base to the table surface. This method is preferable if you will be machining heavy parts and the part
weight may tilt the machine when the X-carriage is in the extreme right or left position.
The location of the threaded inserts on the bottom of the base is shown on the picture below.
