b) How to mount the stage
•
Fit the stage (
1
) onto the stage carrier (

of the stage (

•
Insert the four mounting screws (
5
) from below through the holes in the stage carrier and
screw them into the bottom of the stage.
•
Tighten the screws.
NOTE
After long hours of use, the stage guide may be loose and the stage travel range may be
decreased. However, this is not a malfunction and can be corrected easily as described below.

In Y-direction, hold the upper stage and move it
to the front and rear until it hits the stoppers.
