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 weekly basis through the following steps:
1) Turn the power off and unplug the C180II before cleaning.
2) Use a vacuum cleaner with a flexible 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 C180II.
CAUTION
• Never pour or spray alcohol or acetone directly to the working table.
• Oil, alcohol and acetone can cause fires 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 weekly 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.
