Sears, Roebuck and Co. CompuCarve™ System (Rev 1.18) 04/23/07

Care and Maintenance

The CompuCarve is a precision machine tool. With proper care and

maintenance it will provide long, reliable service.

WARNING: Always unplug machine before attempting any

troubleshooting or maintenance on the machine.

• Dust Removal: The CompuCarve is designed to tolerate a

considerable amount of carving system dust, but to ensure proper

operation it should be kept free of debris as much as possible.

Periodically blow or vacuum out any dust or debris from the recesses of

the unit.

• Check the Cutting Trucks for Looseness. As a matter of regular

maintenance, check that the Y and Z Cutting Trucks (Figure 13) are

tight and do not have any play in them. Simply grab each one by hand

and wiggle back and forth. If either of these trucks is loose they will

need to be tightened. Failure to tighten these trucks will result in

decreased carving quality. Please call the service help line for

tightening instructions.

• Pitch Removal: Pitch buildup is not a big problem, but should a

workpiece with a high content of pitch be carved there may be some

pitch deposits on the cutter bit and elsewhere. This is easily removed

using mineral spirits.

• The Muffler and Dust Collector Bag should be removed and cleaned

out periodically to ensure a good airflow.

• Lubrication: Several areas of the CompuCarve machine will require

occasional cleaning and re-lubrication.

o The flexshaft core should be cleaned and re-lubricated only if it

begins to exhibit heating during operation. To access the core, first

unplug the CompuCarve machine from power. Firmly grasp the

flexshaft outer sheath where it is snapped into the machine’s cutting

head and pull it free from the head. The core is contained within the

sheath, and should slide out freely when grasped between finger

and thumb. Inspect the core for debris and clean with a lint free

cloth if necessary. The recommended lubricant is a commercially

available chain lube with Moly. Spray the lubricant onto the core

and let sit for an hour. After applying the specified lubricant slide the

core back into its sheath. When near full insertion, the core may

need to be carefully rotated with the fingers to ensure that its square

end engages correctly with the cutting motor. Once the core is fully

inserted in the sheath, it can once again be snapped into the cutting

head. Rotate the bit chuck if necessary to get the square end to

engage with the chuck.
