2. Take small steps early in use – this will enable you to use the Piranha FX/XL safely and

effectively. Practice each step a few times early on without running the router for example.

Again, this orientation process will help you to use the Piranha FX/XL safely and effectively.

3. Let the machine and router spindle come to a complete stop before touching parts. Ensure

that you have a positive system in place to make sure that power is not applied to the router or

the CNC Piranha FX/XL while positioning a work piece, adjusting the position of the tool,

changing a bit, or setting up clamps, hold downs, or jigs. We recommend unplugging the router

for bit changes.

4. Ensure that the material or work piece is firmly secured to the table. This includes

accounting for the attachment and hold down of any pieces that will become cutouts or cutoffs

during the machining process. Also be sure that all clamps, hold downs, and jigs are not in the

path of the cutter – and do not interfere with the movement of the gantry.

5. Always wear eye and ear protection while operating your CNC Piranha FX/XL.

6. Keep miscellaneous equipment off of the CNC Piranha FX/XL table and gantry. This includes

areas alongside the table where the gantry travels.

7. Never leave the CNC Piranha FX/XL unattended while it is running. A work piece slippage,

unexpected cutting error or other unexpected event might occur. This could result in injury as

well as damage to the CNC Piranha FX/XL.

8. Never attempt to remove chips, dust or debris from the machine while it is running with

your hands or fingers, or by placing a vacuum device into the field of operation – near the

cutter.

9. Position the LCD Pendant in a place that is easy for you to quickly reach, and out of the path

and travel direction of the tool. Chips and debris can travel a good distance, and cutters can

break during use.

10. Never attempt to manually adjust the work piece while the CNC Piranha FX/XL and router

are running. Do not attempt to manually feed a work piece 'into' a running cutter – this is not a

router table.

11. Keep the CNC Piranha FX/XL lubricated and clean. Clean the CNC Piranha FX/XL and area

after each use by vacuuming dust and lubricating with a Dry lube type spray.
