Cleaning

Ensure the inside of the machine and the heater tray is cleared of dust, dirt and debris. Do not allow dirt and

loose particles to build up, particularly on the heater tray.

Lubrication

The 450DT requires minimum lubrication.

Apply general purpose grease to the table guide bars when required to assist with table movement.

Apply a small amount of fine silicone oil or fine oil to the heater slide bars when required to assist free

movement of the heater.
