Page 8: Safety
Safety READ BEFORE OPERATING THIS MACHINE: All milling machines contain hazards from rotating cutting tools, belts and pulleys, high voltage electricity, noise, and compressed air. When using milling machines and their components, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury and mechanical damage.
Page 9 ♦ It is the shop owner’s responsibility to make sure that everyone who is involved in installing and operating the machine is thoroughly acquainted with the installation, operation, and safety instructions provided with the machine BEFORE they perform any actual work. The ultimate responsibility for safety rests with the shop owner and the individuals who work with the machine.
Page 10 ♦ Follow these guidelines while performing jobs on the machine: Normal operation - Keep the door closed while machine is operating. Part loading and unloading – An operator opens the door or guard, completes task, closes door or guard before pressing cycle start (starting automatic motion). Tool loading or unloading –...

Page 12: Installing Software
Installing Software 1. Open web browser and follow this link to https://github.com/winder/Universal-G-Code-Sender 2. Scroll to the middle of the page and download Universal-G-Code-Sender v1.0.9 (UGS)and unzip to your desktop. UGS is Java based and runs without an install on either Windows or Mac based operating systems.
Page 13: Supported G And M Codes
Supported G and M Codes G-code Meaning Notes Support Position of A axis (rotational axis around X axis) Position of B axis (rotational axis around Y axis) Position of B axis (rotational axis around Z axis) Defines diameter or radial D is used for depth of cut on lathes.
Page 14 Defines spindle speed Tool selection Incremental axis corresponding to X axis Also defines dwell time on some machines (instead of (typically only lathe group "P" or "X"). A controls) Incremental axis corresponding to Y axis Incremental axis (typically only lathe group A controls) corresponding to Z axis Absolute or incremental Also defines dwell time on some machines (instead of...
Page 15 Switch to rapid linear motion mode (seek). Used to get the tool somewhere quickly without cutting --- moves the G0/G0 Rapid machine as quickly as possible along each axis --- an axis All Grbl versions positioning which needs less movement will finish before the others, so one cannot count on the movement being a straight line.
Page 16 Best practice: do this at the start of a program and After this, units nowhere else. The usual minimum increment in G21 (one All Grbl versions will be in mm thousandth of a millimeter, .001 mm, that is, one micrometer). Go to Pre- Takes an argument of an X Y Z coordinate for the intermediate point that the tool tip will pass through on its way home to machine zero.

G0 X-10 Y5 will move to the position 10 units distance mode to the left and 5 above the origin X0,Y0. cf. G91 below. Coordinates are now relative to the current position, with Switch to no consideration for machine origin.
Page 18 M-code Meaning Notes Support Program (v0.8 or later) Idle fixed in Pause and Stop --- stops the machine so you can change the tool 0.9i[21] Optional Machine will only stop at M01 if operator has pushed the (v0.9 or later) Stop optional stop button.
Page 19 G-code Not supported by Grbl Please note that unsupported G-code may cause Grbl to behave oddly, for example drifting into a corner. G-code Meaning Notes This actually is the only mode which Grbl runs in (there's no way to turn on tool radius Tool radius comp off compensation), so arguably this command should simply be ignored.
