It is used to lubricate the lead screw and guide rail after the machine tool runs for a period of time, so as to improve wear resistance and transmission efficiency.

To lubricate the lead screw and guide rail, do one of the following:

• Automatically lubricate the lead screw and guide rail during machining according to the set parameters.

• Manually lubricate the lead screw and guide rail.
