Message Cary he gave me instructions via email but I don't have them anymore. I could try and give them to you from memory but Cary will give you them in the right order. Also as a note the slide is nylon impregnated with Teflon if my memory serves me. Both of these materials would e resistant to the solvents in WD40. Also he doesn't say to lube it with it but to wipe down the parts with it. Also if you just got it you do not need to take it apart and clean it. This machine has a break in period. Maybe after 20 hours use you may decide to clean it.
