the internal components, especially the motor.
cleaning
DO NOt attempt to investigate or adjust
any features of the machine while it is run-
ning. Wait until the machine is turned OFF,
unplugged, and all working parts have come
to a rest before you do anything!
Lubrication
an essential part of lubrication is cleaning the
components before lubricating them.
this step is critical because dust and chips build
up on lubricated components, which makes them
hard to move. simply adding more grease to built-
up grime will not result in smooth moving parts.
