• If the machine is used for a long time, lubricating oil should be added regularly to the machine transmission parts.
• The motor needs to be inspected and cleaned frequently so that ash cannot accumulate on the motor casing to affect the normal operation of the motor.
• When the motor is running, if there is abnormal noise or surface temperature abnormality (temperature greater than 70 ℃), it should be stopped immediately for an inspection.

• If the motor seat fasteners are loose and displaced, they should be reset; if there is a lack of lubricating oil, calcium and sodium-based grease can be used for lubrication.
• Please do not assemble and disassemble electrical components and equipment parts at will, so as not to damage the electrical control circuit and cause human failure of the equipment to affect its performance.
• The precision instrument of this machine should be operated and maintained by a dedicated person.
