8.2 Maintaining the Worktable and Motion System
8.2.1 Cleaning the Worktable and Motion System
Clean the working table and the motion system on a frequent basis through the following steps:
1) Turn the power off and unplug the C180 before cleaning.
2) Use a vacuum cleaner with a exible nozzle to remove dust and debris from the worktable and
motion system.
3) Apply small amounts of all-purpose cleaner, alcohol, or acetone to a paper or cotton towel to clean
the working table.
4) Apply a soap solution, all-purpose cleaner, or alcohol to a paper or cotton towel to wipe down the
rails of the motion system.
5) Wait for all cleaning residue to dry completely before plugging in and operating the C180.
CAUTION
• Never pour or spray alcohol or acetone directly to the working table.
• Oil, alcohol and acetone can cause res or smoke build-up if improperly used.
Tip
Please clean the AutoFocus pin each time after completing the engraved job
to make sure the AutoFocus pin is free to move.
8.2.2 Lubrication of the X / Y Rails
In order to keep the motion system running smoothly, the X / Y rails of the motion system will need
lubrication on a semi-regular basis. Use a small amount of light grade machine oil or PS2 grease to
a paper or cotton towel and apply to the rails.
You can purchase PS2 grease from NSK dealers worldwide. Please visit http://www.nsk.com for
additional information.
NOTE
• Always clean and lubricate the rails after working with materials that produce lots of
debris (such as wood).
• Too much oil or PS2 grease applied to the X / Y rails will accelerate the build up of
debris.
