Chapter 7: System Maintenance
The AutoCut carriage, x and y rails, rack, sensors, and pinions must
be kept clean and free from any debris. The maintenance schedule is
simple and, if followed, will ensure that your AutoCut provides you
with many years of trouble-free operation.
PRECAUTIONS:

Turn off power to the system before doing any maintenance.
Never stand on vacuum table top.
Keep material rolls off of the cutting table when the carriage is
moving. If the carriage hits a roll of material (or other objects), it
can cause extensive damage.
Keep scrap or waste material from getting caught along the sides
of the carriage or in the x-axis e-chain. Anything (material,
plastic coverings, tape, etc.) that comes between the extrusions
and the moving carriage may cause damage to the system.
Keep all heavy equipment and supplies (forklifts, hoists, rolls of
material, pallets, etc.) away from the table. Bumping the table
with force can cause it to lose calibration or could cause severe
damage.
Protect the machine and yourself from static discharge with static
mats and straps. Always ground yourself before you handle
electronic components.
MAINTENANCE NOTE:
If the machine starts making an unusual noise, try to determine the
source of the noise. This may be the first warning sign of a worn or
damaged part. Replacing the part or returning it to Autometrix for
repair may save you additional damage. Regular maintenance
reduces down time and allows you to schedule that down time.
