  • The question "how often" will depend on your environment. That is something you will have to monitor and determine.

    Those dust covers are removable. Each end is fixated by velcro. You can remove those covers momentarily while the machine is not running and use air to clean them up. Use isopropyl alcohol to clean the granite where the air bearing glides along and along any moving track components like the Z and X axis'. Be careful of the glass scales to not scuff them up. You can lightly clean them with a clean room wipe and isopropyl alcohol.
