Removing the Job from the Spoil
board
If you use double-sided tape to
attach the job to the spoil board,
lever the job off the spoil board with
a wide-blade putty knife or
something similar.
Fitting the Job to the Table
using the T-slots
You may find it convenient to clamp the job to the spoil
board with the table clamps. This attachment method
can only be used if the outside edges are not being
machined.
When using the clamps, place a piece of packing under
the jacking bolt to protect the bed of the machine.

Maintenance

As with any machine, to ensure optimal performance,
you must conduct regular maintenance.
Lubrication
You must regularly (minimum every 12 hours) lubricate the bearing surfaces and the
ball screws. Use a thin lithium spray or a 30wt oil lubricant. Spray daily and wipe off
the excess.
Daily checks
1. Clean the machine and lubricate unpainted surfaces with a
30wt oil lubricant. Wipe off any excess and buff with a dry
polishing cloth. This will reduce the likelihood of rust forming.
2. Check cutter teeth for chips and dullness.
3. Generally inspect the machine for damage and loose or
worn parts.
4. Collets and spindle collet holes must be cleaned regularly.
Ensure that the slots in the collets are free of sawdust, as
sawdust builds up and will stop the collet compressing. If the
collet or spindle holes are not clean, the router bit may not
run true, and this will affect the performance of your machine.
Weekly checks
1. Clean the cutters.
2. Check cutter teeth for chips and dullness.
3. Generally inspect the machine for damage and loose or worn parts.
4. Check the dust extraction for blockages, as any large bits could cause blockages.
5. Replace the water every week.
6. Rotate the water pipes every week. (Inlet to out let and reverse for the other pipe.)
This will clean out any dirt or other debris that is acuminating inside the cooling system.
7. Check that all the electrical connectors are fitted correctly and are not loose.
8. Check that all the motor couplers are connected and that the screws are tight.
