as necessary. Failure to clean the nose cone regularly will result in premature spindle
failure.
Cleaning the Vacuum Filter (only with the vacuum chip removal option)
On systems with a vacuum chip removal system, frequent cleaning of the vacuum filter is
necessary for proper performance. When engraving with the vacuum filter system, the
filter should be checked and cleaned several times a day, depending on the amount of
engraving done. If the vacuum does not appear to be functioning efficiently, clean the filter
more frequently as needed.
To clean the vacuum filter system, disconnect the vacuum hose from the canister. On the
lid of the canister, note the three wing nuts. Loosen these nuts enough to allow the
attached bolts to swing away from the lid, allowing removal of the lid. Do not loosen the
nuts enough to remove them completely. Remove the canister lid and inside you will find
two filters. Carefully remove the inner, paper filter. (The paper and cloth filters tend to stick
together.) Empty the paper filter, and shake it out completely, being careful not to damage
it, as the filters are reusable. After shaking out the paper filter remove and empty the cloth
filter in the same manner as the paper filter. Do not wash either filter. Place the paper filter
back inside the cloth filter, and place the cloth filter back inside the vacuum canister.
Lubrication
Lubricating the X&Y-Axis Linear Rails
Apply 2-3 drops of light oil (such as 3-in-1 oil) on the rails and rub it in with a paper towel.
Use the X jog button to move the spindle to the right and left to evenly distribute the oil.
Also, use the Y jog button to move the t-slot table front to back to evenly distribute the oil.
This should be done every 3-4 months.
(See Figure 5.1)
Lubricating the X-Y-Z-Axis lead screws
A light lubrication of the X, Y and Z lead screws should be performed once per month.
Use silicone lubricant only. To reach the Z-Axis lead screw, press the Z jog down button to
lower the spindle. This will expose the Z leadscrew so you can spray it with lubricant.
DO NOT use any lubricant other than silicone, as it may become sticky and cause a
buildup that can cause mechanical failure.
