The tool carriage uses four sliding surfaces on the Y guiding rail: two sliding surfaces at the
front of the guiding rail and two sliding surfaces at the rear of the guiding rail , directly
behind the visible sliding surfaces at the front. Although the shape of the Y guiding rail may
vary from model to model, the sliding surfaces are in the same place at the top and bottom of
the guiding rail.

with accumulated residue.
Cleaning the sliding surfaces of the Y guide rail:
1. Switch off the machine.
2. Take a soft cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol or a mild detergent.
3. Clean the surfaces. When the tool carriage is in the way, carefully slide it to the left or right.
