6. Cleaning and Care
Protect the
VE 600
from dust and other dirt contamination.
Cover it over when it is not in use.
Wipe the device with a duster occasionally after use, either dry or moistened with a
mild cleaning agent.
Caution:
Never use aggressive cleaning agents to clean the Vario Engraver VE 600.
Never oil the mechanical parts of your engraver.
6.1 Handling the engraving spindle
The engraving spindle is a sensitive unit and should be treated extremely carefully.
Please use the spindle in dust-free areas only. An excessive dust burden will lead to
the sensitive bearings becoming clogged with dust, and then wearing out rapidly.
Never use compressed air to clean the spindles, because that will remove the
lubricant from the ball bearings. Do not use any lubricants when engraving. Never
clean the engraving spindle with water.
If, despite this, dust particles do appear in the clamping jaws, this may be indicated,
for example, by unclean engraving. In this case, remove the
engraving needle and rotate the jaws out with the aid of the rotary
knob. Wipe out the front part of the jaw seat with a
clean cotton swab (Q-tip), (see illustration).
