5. Controller/Electrical cabinet. The Controller/Electrical cabinet is located on the side of the machine enclosure and houses all the electrical components for controlling and powering the machine. 6. Caterpillar track. The caterpillar track runs along the side of the machine and across the gantry in a trough and carries all the electrical cables and the spindle cooling tubes if water-cooled spindle is fitted. -
Page 10: Unpacking Your Cnc Router
Unpack the machine. To unpack your machine, you will need tin snips, knife and a wrench. 1. Using the tin snips, cut the banding that is securing the machine to the pallet (if fitted). WARNING: EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED BECAUSE THE BANDING WILL SPRING AND COULD CAUSE Lock nut INJURY. -
Page 11: Assembly And Setup
Assembly and setup. Air cylinder rods Cleaning the machine. The machine is shipped with the non- painted surfaces protected from rust by a film of grease. The grease must be removed with WD40 or similar, as it attracts sawdust and dirt. The surfaces should then be coated with a 30W oil or wax and any excess removed. - Page 12 Note: When wiring the machine to your electrical system, keep your cable as short as possible, and the cable should not be allowed to run along the floor, as this will cause a trip hazard. The second cable has a female electrical socket for connection to the water pump (if fitted).
- Page 13 Pump Fit electrical plug Pipe connector Fit connector Connecting the water pipes to the pump (if ordered). Note: Never run the water-cooled motor without the cooling being connected, or the motor could be damaged. It is recommended that the pump be run for at least 5 minutes after the motor has been switched off to remove any residual heat.
- Page 14 Fitting the router bit into the router head. Tool holder Collet Nut Note: Before changing or fitting the router bit, always disconnect the power from the machine. 1. Select a router bit and its relevant collet. 2. Fit the collet into the spindle nut. Press the collet into the spindle nut until it snaps into place.

Page 15: Machine Operation
Machine Operation. Manual tool release. The tool holder can be released from the spindle manually by pressing the green manual release button. Note: When the green manual release button is pressed, the clamping method is released and the tool will fall out. Place your hand so that the tool holder (not the cutter) is supported. - Page 16 Types of router bits. There are five basic types of router bits: straight, up shear, down shear, combination (also called compression), and form tools (round over, ogee, etc.). 1. Straight Router Bits. These are the standard router bits that are commonly used with handheld routers and are readily available at home centers.
- Page 17 Home switches. There are three switches that determine the home position of the router head. The switches are factory set, and no adjustment should be required. If adjustment is required, contact your service technician prior to conducting any adjustment. X axis home switch Y axis home switch Z axis home switch Y axis home switch...
- Page 18 Optional location pins [optional]. The machine can be supplied with five pneumatic-activated location pins. The pins can be extended or retracted by activating the foot switch. The pins are used as a convenient way to locate a sheet onto the vacuum table. Location pins Foot activation switch Foot activation...
- Page 19 Tool changer and automatic tool contact button. The tool changer consists of a number of tool spindle docking stations (up to a maximum of 8, depending on what was ordered with the machine). The machine knows the location of the docking stations and will retrieve and deposit tool spindles as commanded by the program that it is running.

- Page 21 The router head will move to the home position on the table. Using the vacuum table. Note. The better the vacuum that is created, the more secure the parts will be held in place. Follow the below instructions to obtain optimum results. The vacuum table has 6 zones and you can set the configuration to suite the type of work that you will be producing.
- Page 22 It is recommended that you initially create 3 zones, each one completely across the table. You can change the configuration at a later stage.

- Page 23 Spoil board preparation. When you purchase your MDF spoil board, it should be no thinner than 3/4 inch. Contrary to what you might think, the thicker the MDF, the better the suction that is created. It is not recommended that your spoil board be thicker than 1 inch. The MDF that you purchase will not be flat, and the machine will need to cut it to make it accurate.
- Page 24 board. Ensure that the job has no large burrs on the edges, as this will also reduce the vacuum. In general, keeping everything clean is the key to achieving good, repeatable results. Precautions regarding spoil boards. The spoil board is porous and will absorb moisture. As moisture is absorbed, the dimensions of the board will change.
- Page 25 Gasket turned in Gasket turned in Cutting end of foam rubber gasket Final finished joint Note: Do not stretch the foam rubber Suggested zone configuration gasket while you are fitting it into the groove in the vacuum table. Vacuum table T slots. The vacuum table has T slots to enable fixtures and jobs to be clamped directly to the table.
- Page 26 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.

- Page 42 Getting Started. Preparing for sheet processing: 1) Place a 3/4" or 1"-thick MDF spoil board with sealed edges (either edge band or seal with a rubbing wax) centered on your table. 2) Insert a small tool into the spindle manually. 3) Press the (MAN) membrane switch to access the manual control screen.
- Page 43 9) With the spindle over the front left corner of the spoil board and (G54) selected, press (Teach ZPO) (zero point offset) to select the front left of the spoil board as the work offset (X and Y Zero)(origin) for your software’s starting point when running code.
- Page 44 15) While on this screen, please verify there is a Zero in the field for (ZSPOIL) so that the tool touch-off is not adjusted incorrectly. 16) Press the (MAN) membrane switch to access the manual control screen. 17) Turn on the vacuum pump in order to draw the spoil board flat to the machine’s table.
