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 not attempt to lubricate the spindle
bearings. If you suspect lubrication problems, call Vision for instructions, as further lubrication may
harm the machine. Do not not lubricate the X or Y stepper motors.
