Step 3.
Prepare a clean, level surface to put the engraving table on.
Step 4.
Remove the four wing nuts by hand or by using pliers. Using a 7/16" wrench, remove the nuts
and washers securing the table to the floor of the crate. Most tables are secured at four loca-
tions around the base of the table. This prevents the machine from moving around during
shipment and becoming damaged. Plastic tie straps may have been used to secure various
mechanisms on the machine. These do not need to be removed immediately.
After removing the nuts and washers securing the table to the crate, the table can be carefully
removed. It is recommended that two people lift the table out of the crate. Four persons may be
required to remove larger tables from the crate. Do not lift the table by the stepper motors, the
lead screws, or similarly aligned parts. This could damage the bearings, motors, lead screws,
and general alignment of the engraver.
CAUTION: Lift the table by the base plate only!
Step 5.
Remove the plastic tie straps that may have been used to secure the Z-assembly (Spindle
Block). Remove them by cutting through with a sharp knife or scissors. After removing the tie
straps, remove the shipping foam from under the carriage.
Step 6.
After unpacking the table, save the crate and any other boxes as well as the nuts
and washers. They can be reused in the event the table must be transported to
another location or returned for service. Improper packaging for shipment can
damage the table and may void the warranty.
