3)
Attach the side covers after grease supply is finished.
If you touch the edge of the stainless steel sheet in the attaching process, the sheet
may get damaged or wavy which result in shortening life or earlier wear-out.
To avoid touching the edge of the sheet, insert a spacer (approximately 0.1 to 0.2mm)
between the sheet and cover to push up the sheet, and then push in the cover.
When affixing the side cover, tighten the screws with the tightening torque described
below.

4) Make sure that the slider and the side cover do not interfere, moving the slider
backwards and forwards between the strokes.
Caution
Do not damage the stainless steel sheet by bending it forcefully during work.
Keep in mind that the edges of the stainless steel sheet can cause injuries. Always wear
gloves when working on it.
The front bracket is supporting the ball screw. Do not detach it.
If the front bracket loses its tuned condition, it may cause an increase of driving
resistance, shortened life of each component or abnormal noise due to the center of the
axis being off the right position.
In case the grease got into your eye, wash it with clean water for 15 minutes and
immediately go see the doctor to get appropriate care.
After finishing the grease supply work, wash your hands carefully with water and soap to
rinse the grease OFF.
