Cause

Solution
The image below shows the location of the shafts that could require cleaning.
Start by vacuuming off the cutting dust on all 4 shafts. Only use the approved vacuum system attached to the DWX-50. This can easily be done every time you perform general cleaning in the work area.
If the shaft surface is completely dry of any lubricant then apply a very thin coat (sparingly) of fresh grease on the shafts. A small container of grease and foam swab were included in the DWX-50
accessories carton. Remove any grease that adhered to any other areas other than the shafts. Once the DWX-50 is back in production the grease will distribute across all parts of the shaft.
You can contact your Authorized Roland Dealer to order additional container of grease.
