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. None of the motors on the VE-810 require
lubrication. Oiling the stepper motors can permanently damage the motors.
Changing the Motor Belt
Over a period of time, the VE-810 motor belt will wear. When the motor belt wears it will
stretch and cause the spindle to slip or stall. When this happens, the motor belt generally
needs to be changed. The following explains the procedure for changing the motor belt.
Press the X Jog key to move the spindle to the middle of the table. Use a 3/32” Allen
wrench and remove the two cover screws shown in figure 5.2.
