Cleaning and Maintenance 99
LEAD SCREWS
The lead screws are located along the width of the router motor
carriage below the ways, on the Z axis, and beneath the center
front of the router. (See the previous photograph and illustration.)
CAUTION: DO NOT OIL THE LEAD SCREWS.
1.
Use a brush to remove debris from the lead screws.
Note: The “teflon” coating on the lead screws will gradually wear
away. This is normal and will not affect performance.
ROUTER TABLE SURFACE
To clean the router table surface
1.
Use a hand broom to clean the router table surface after each
operation, brushing away the chips from around the router
motor and the work table.
2.
Use the lint-free cloth to wipe the table clean.
MIST COOLANT
The Mist Coolant System requires two maintenance procedures:
checking the mist coolant fluid level and cleaning the mist coolant
nozzle.
To check the mist coolant
1.
Regularly check the mist coolant tank to ensure that it
contains enough coolant to avoid running out during a job.
2.
If the coolant level is low, fill the tank to within one inch (25
mm) of the top of the level indicator. Overfilling may result in
the tank leaking.
To clean the mist coolant nozzle
1.
Use a lint-free cloth to wipe off any coolant build-up.
