Removing the machine cover
Step 1 - Removing the X axis motor cover
 | Remove the X axis motor cover on the right hand side of the gantry. |
  | In order to do so, you need to remove 3 button head screws. |
| After removing those 3 button head screws, the X axis motor cover can easily be lifted. |
Step 2
- Move the gantry to the front of the engraving table and the spindle carriage more or less to the middle of the X axis.
- Push the Z-down key on the virtual pendent to lower the spindle until the nose cone touches the engraving table.
- Remove 8 of the 10 M4x6 allen screws (indicated in yellow) and keep them apart. Do not remove the outer two screws, indicated in red.
- To remove these 8 screws, first unscrew the ones you have access to, then move the spindle carriage to the side, in order access the screws which are hidden behind the carriage.
- Before loosening the two outer screws (indicated in red), the spindle carriage has to be separated from the X axis movement bracket. (see next page)
Step 3
- Before continuing, remove the timing belt from between the motor pulley and the spindle pulley.
- Having lowered the spindle carriage using the Z down key on the virtual pendent, the two screws(indicated in yellow) should be visible and accessible.
- Remove them with a hex wrench and put them in a safe place.
- After having removed those 2 screws you can move the spindle carriage away to the left from the X movement bracket.
