Page 10: Basic Tips On Setting Up And Installing The Machine
6. Basic tips on setting up and installing the machine 6.1. Unpacking and setting up the machine Caution! Do not insert the mains plug before completing the assembly work as the machine could be switched on unintentionally. Risk of injuries! Carefully unpack the individual components from the Styrofoam packaging. -
Page 11: Connecting The Cabling
6.2. Connecting the cabling The connection cable of the three stepping motors has to be inserted in the provided sockets of the CNC control. They are identified accordingly as "X", "Y" and "Z" of the respective CNC axes. For your information: The "implied" X axis is horizontal in the longitudinal direction of the cross table, the Y axis is also horizontal but at right angles to that, and the Z axis describes the vertical traversing of the milling head at the column. -

7. Working with the milling cutter 7.1. General information for working with milling cutter Caution! Disconnect the mains plug before you do any adjustments or when exchanging tools! Caution! Please note that despite all the advantages for use in machine tools, the condenser motor used here can become quite warm due to the construction type. -
Page 13: Working With The Drilling Lever
7.2. Working with the drilling lever Please note: Never actuate the drilling lever during CNC operation or even adjust it to a new position! This could cause damage to the machine and/or the work piece! While the milling cutter is operating, the milling head is traversed automatically with the milling spindle, making the use of the drilling lever superfluous: The drilling movements are performed with the Z axis. -

9.2. Adjusting the play of the cross table or Z carriage guides If the guide of a cross table or Z carriage axis develops too much play after some time, you can readjust the play using the adjusting screw 2. To do so, release the counter nuts 1 and evenly turn in all adjusting screws until the play is eliminated. -
Page 20: Cleaning And Care
9.4. Cleaning and Care Caution! Always disconnect the mains plug before any cleaning, adjusting, maintenance or repair! Risk of injuries! Note: The machine is primarily maintenance free.
