MAINTENANCE
This section includes instructions for routine cleaning and lubrication to
keep the HS15
plus
plotter in good working order. In addition, instructions
for fuse replacement are included.
Cleaning/Lubrication
Routine cleaning and lubrication should be done monthly or after every
160 hours of use, whichever occurs first. Isopropyl alcohol should be
used to clean dirty parts.
Note: When isopropyl alcohol is used, lubricate the parts immediately to
prevent corrosion.
Use a light oil (such as
3-IN-ONE
) for all lubrication, except as noted.
TOOL HOLDERS/CARRIAGE SPINDLE
Note: Do not use oil to lubricate tool holders
.
Clean the spindle bore daily. There is a very close fit between the pen,
knife, and pounce wheel holders and the carriage spindle bore. Any dirt
or build-up in the bore or on the tool holder restricts motion and can
produce inconsistent results.
1. Once a day clean the spindle bore and tool holders with isopropyl
alcohol using a lint-free cloth on the tool holders and a cotton swab
in the bore.
CARRIAGE/BALL BUSHING
1. Use a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol to clean any dust or
debris from the front way, cam shaft, and rear way. Rotate the cam
shaft and rear way (the front way does not turn) and move the
carriage spindle for access to the entire length of these shafts.
