NOTE:
It is unnecessary to lubricate side guide bars, cam faces or rollers. As only a rolling action
occurs at these points any oil or grease will only attract dust and dirt, to the detriment of
the surfaces and the operation of the unit. Wipe the aforementioned faces over with a dry
cloth as and when necessary.
