Growth Series care and maintenance
Although your Growth Series table may be brand new and shiny, it won’t stay that way for long unless you
take care of it. But, more important than how it looks is how well it performs, yet the number one mainte-
nance item that will keep your Growth Series machine running well is keeping it clean and free of rust.
Keeping the
machine clean
• The shop can be a place where cutting and welding generate smoke, fumes, spatter, and
metal dust that can accumulate on your machine.
• When you see it beginning to build up on the rails, under where the bearings roll or
around the motors or electronics, take the time to wipe it away.
• A light spray of your favorite metal care product, followed a wipe down will help
protect your machine from rust as well as grit and grime.
• The moving mechanical parts, such as bearings and lead screws should never be cleaned
with solvent-based lubricant / water displacement products.
• For proper lubrication, use a light machine oil.
• A few drops of oil on a frequent and regular basis is much better than a heavy dose
only occasionally.
• Some components, such as set screws can become loose over time.
• Every time the table is used, it should be inspected before and during operation for any
signs of vibration or looseness.
• On 2X4 and 4X4 Growth Series machines, there are belts and pulleys that should
be inspected for true running. The pulleys also have set screws, and if they become
loosened, the belts may not run true and can become frayed or damaged, causing a
loss of accuracy and reliability. These pulleys are located under the motor covers (only
on 2x4 and 4X4 models).
• If you find a set screw that is difficult for you to service, and yet continues to come
loose, ask your Torchmate Technical Support Help Desk if you can put a drop of thread
sealant on the set screw threads.
