2.3 Cleaning the VMC
1.
Remove all the cardboard and protective plastic sheeting from the machine.
2.
With a soft cloth, remove all the protective oil from the machine. DO NOT USE ANY SHARP OBJECTS
ON THE LINEAR GUIDEWAYS OR THE BALL SCREW. USE ONLY LINT FREE CLOTH IN THESE AREAS.
It may be necessary to move the table, saddle and head left and right, up and down when cleaning.
3.
Clean the way covers as they come shipped with a rust prevention spray on them. WD-40 works well
to remove this agent.
4.
When cleaning the windows, use a suitable cleaner that DOES NOT contain ammonia or solvents that
could damage the polycarbonate windows.
Warning!
Do not use water based cleaning agents for cleaning the machine.
ATTENTION!
Immediately report, in writing, any damages observed at this time that can be attributed to the
transportation or improper handling/moving of the machine.
