NOTE: Make sure when removing the CNC Shark HD4 base from its box that you lift it from the
supporting rods underneath or the HDPE bottom. Do not lift from aluminum table top as this can cause
misalignment.
Attaching the Gantry to the Base
1. For standard operation, use the bottom three sets of holes to mount the Gantry Assembly to the Base
Assembly. The upper sets of holes can be used if extra vertical clearance is needed.
2. The Gantry Assembly attaches to the Base Assembly with the 12 mounting bolts and nylon- insert lock
nuts (six on each side). The fit of the mounting bolts is intentionally snug, so you'll need to use the T27
Torx bit or screwdriver to start and advance the bolts. Once the bolts are through the gantry and base
assemblies, thread on the nylon-insert lock nuts and tighten with a 7/16" wrench. Do not overtighten.
CNC Shark HD4 Router Mounting
With the 4 bolts removed, place the cradle mount onto your gantry and replace the 4 bolts using a T27
Torx bit or screwdriver.
Install Router into Router Base by loosening the two horizontal bolts in front and sliding router in until
the motor protrudes at least 1 ½" below the clamp.
Tighten all clamping bolts securely.
