This could cause injury or product damage. Givingan impact to it could also cause damage to its function even if the product looks intact.(5) Prevent foreign material, such as dust or cutting chips, from entering the system. This couldcause damage to ball circulation components and loss of functionality.(6) When planning to use the LM system in an environment where the coolant penetrates the LMblock, it may cause trouble to product functions depending on the type of the coolant. ContactTHK for details.(7) Do not use the product at temperature of 80 or higher. Contact THK if you desire to use theproduct at a temperature of 80 or higher.(8) If foreign material such as dust or cutting chips adheres to the product, replenish the lubricantafter cleaning the product with pure white kerosene. For available types of detergent, contactTHK.(9) If an LM guide will be in an inverted orientation, take preventive measures such as adding asafety mechanism to prevent falls. If the end plate is damaged due to an accident, etc., ballsmay fall out of the guide or the LM block become detached from the LM rail and fall down.(10) When using the product in locations exposed to constant vibrations or in special environmentssuch as clean rooms, vacuum and low/high temperature, contact THK in advance.(11) When removing the LM block from the LM rail and then replacing the block, an LM block mounting/removingjig that facilitates such installation is available. Contact THK for details.[Lubrication](1) Thoroughly remove anti-rust oil and feed lubricant before using the product.(2) Do not mix lubricants of different physical properties.(3) In locations exposed to constant vibrations or in special environments such as clean rooms, vacuumand low/high temperature, normal lubricants may not be used. Contact THK for details.(4) When planning to use a special lubricant, contact THK before using it.(5) When adopting oil lubrication, the lubricant may not be distributed throughout the LM systemdepending on the mounting orientation of the system. Contact THK for details.(6) Lubrication interval varies according to the conditions. Contact THK for details.[Storage]When storing the LM Guide, enclose it in a package designated by THK and store it in a horizontalorientation while avoiding high temperature, low temperature and high humidity.Industrial TechnologiesA1-370
