What not to lubricate
Many of the bearings and assemblies in your engraving machine are sealed and/or coated using
special low-friction methods and should not be lubricated.
DO NOT attempt to lubricate the spindle or the spindle bearings. If you suspect
lubrication problems, call your dealer/representative for instructions, as further
lubrication may harm the machine.
DO NOT oil the X or Y stepper motors. The only motor that requires lubrication is the
Z-motor and lead screw combination. (See lubricating the Z-axis assembly above.)
Oiling the stepper motors can permanently damage the motors.

How to replace a belt
A belt is used to drive the spindle engraving system. It runs between a drive pulley and the
spindle pulley. If it needs replacement, remove the old belt by rolling it to the top of the spindle
pulley, and give it a slight stretching motion to snap it off the end. Once loose, it can easily be
removed from the machine. Now position the new belt around the drive pulley, then stretch it to
snap over the top of the pulley.
