Maintenance
129
Move the Spindle down to expose the Z-Axis leadscrew for cleaning. Apply isopropyl alcohol to a paper
towel and wipe down the Z-Axis leadscrew.
X&Y-Axis Linear Rails
Apply 2-3 drops of a light oil (such as 3-in-1 oil) on the rails and spread it out evenly.
X-Y-Z-Axis lead screws
A light lubrication of the X, Y and Z-Axis leadscrews should be performed periodically. At a minimum,
lubrication should be performed every 6 months, although if applications that produce large amounts of
debris are run (such as wood or plastic engraving), cleaning and lubrication should be performed more
often. Only use Teflon-free silicone spray on the leadscrews. DO NOT use any lubricant other than
Teflon-free silicone spray, as it may attract debris and create a buildup that can cause mechanical
failure.
