Six-month inspection
Take the following precautions when performing 6-month inspection.
WARNING
The Z-axis will slide down when the Z-axis brake is released, causing a hazardous situation. Do not release the
brake when lubricating the Z-axis parts.
When lubricating the ball screw and spline shaft, observe the following precautions.
WARNING
Precautions when handling grease:
• Inflammation may occur if this gets in the eyes.
Before handling the grease, wear your safety goggles to ensure the grease will not come in contact with the
eyes.
• Inflammation may occur if the grease comes into contact with skin. Be sure to wear protective gloves to
prevent contact with skin.
• Do not take orally or eat. (Eating will cause diarrhea and vomiting.)
• Hands and fingers might be cut when opening the container, so use protective gloves.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
• Do not heat the grease or place near an open flame since this could lead to sparks and fires.
Emergency Treatment:
• If this grease gets in the eyes, wash liberally with pure water for about 15 minutes and consult a physician for
treatment.
• If this grease comes in contact with the skin, wash away completely with soap and water.
• If taken internally, do not induce vomiting but promptly consult a physician for treatment.
Disposing of grease and the container:
• Proper disposal is compulsory under federal, state and local regulations. Take appropriate measures in
compliance with legal regulations.
• Do not pressurize the empty container. Pressurizing may cause the container to rupture.
• Do not attempt to weld, heat up, drill holes or cut this container. This might cause the container to explode and
the remaining materials inside it to ignite.
CAUTION
Unless grease specified by OMRON is used, the service life of the ball screw and ball spline will shorten.
