  • Page 12 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 grease attracts sawdust and dirt. The surfaces should then be coated with a Teflon lubricant or similar. Teflon tends to dry and will not attract sawdust and dirt.

  • Page 21 Using the Vacuum Table Note: The better the vacuum created, the more securely 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 suit the type of work that you will be producing.
  • Page 22 Gasket turned in Cutting end of foam rubber gasket Final finished joint Note: Do not stretch the foam rubber gasket while you are fitting it into the Suggested zone configuration grove in the vacuum table. Spoil Board Material and Precautions The spoil board has two functions.
  • 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. However, it is not recommended that your spoil board is thicker than 1 inch. The MDF that you purchase will not be flat and the machine will be cutting to accuracy in the order of a few thousandths of an inch so you will have to machine the spoil board flat.
  • Page 24 Spoil Board Use: Each time you set a new job up you will cut into the spoil board by a few thousandths of an inch in the areas where the cutter passes through the job. When doing repeat jobs always position the job in the same position so that you are not cutting new groves in the spoil board.
  • Page 25 Automatic Z Origin Point [tool touch off] Cutter The machine is provided with an automatic tool height adjustment. Place the contact button on the clean spoil board directly under the cutter. To activate the automatic tool height adjustment press Menu & On/Off key at the same time on the control pad.
