Routine Maintenance - Axminster SIEG User Manual

Routine Maintenance...

!
Excessive dust in the motor can cause excessive heat to develop. Every effort should be
made to prevent foreign material from entering the motor. When operated under conditions
likely to permit accumulations of dust, dirt or waste, a visual inspection should be made at
frequent intervals.
Accumulations of dry dust can usually be blown out successfully.
!
Caution: To avoid eye injury or adverse reaction to dust, high pressure hoses should
not be used especially in poorly ventilated areas. The operator performing this cleaning
function should wear safety goggles and dust filter mask.
Every 2 hours of use, apply a general purpose grease to the arm slides via the grease
nipples provided with a high pressure grease gun.
If the machine is going to stand idle for any length of time, a light coat of spray or machine
oil over the vice, bed and other non painted parts will prevent rusting.
DO NOT use the machine if the power cable has become damaged.
If any servicing (other than the above cleaning) becomes necessary the unit should be
returned to your supplier or repaired by a qualified technician.
