 Regular maintenance

Screw Rod

Bearing

Tip：When the machine is just received, it is necessary

to lubricate the screw rod,and bearing of the X，Y，Z axis
with grease. After each use, it is also necessary to lubricate
the machine, remove debris, and check whether the screws
are loose

Lube Brush

20
 Fixing Screw Lead Screw Lead Screw Nut

Tip：The double nut gap adjustment structure used for the X，Y，Z axis requires regular inspection of the clearance
between the lead screw and the lead screw nut because the lead screw nut may be worn during use. Excessive clearance
can reduce the machining accuracy of the machine. At this time, it is necessary to slightly loosen the fixing screw of a lead
screw nut, then rotate the nut clockwise to adjust to the appropriate clearance, and then lock the fixing screw of the nut.
