Using the CompuCarve
System
Before the CompuCarve
can begin to function,
the CarveWright
memory
card must be installed.
With the power off, push the memory card gently
into the memory
card slot until it stops, making sure the label is up.
WARNING:
Never remove the memory
card from the machine
while it is on. Doing so can result in damage
to the workpiece.
At any point during operation
the CompuCarve
machine
can be
stopped by pressing the STOP key or by lifting the cover.
If desired
the machine can be restarted
by closing the cover and pressing
ENTER.
The machine will resume cutting at the point where
it was
stopped.
If you press the stop button a second time the project will
be aborted so be careful when restarting
your project.
Once the CarveWright
memory
card is installed,
the machine can be
turned on with the power switch.
Look at the LCD display, and rotate the
contrast control knob (located directly
under the keypad) until the display
is readable
from a comfortable
angle.
The CompuCarve
may be used in two complementary
ways.
First, and
most powerfully,
the CompuCarve
can carve intricate patterns
and
designs
created through the CarveWright
design software
running on a
computer.
Second, there are built-in woodworking
functions
on board the
machine
including:
•
Rip Cuts
•
Cross Cuts
•
Edge Jointing
•
End Squaring
•
Miter Cuts
•
Bevel Cuts
•
Edge Routing
These built-in functions
are generally
used to prepare
a board for carving,
but they can be used to dress up a board if desired.
(See section titled
Built-In Functions
below.)
Creating Projects with the CarveWright
TM
Software
Discussion
of the usage of the CarveWright
design software
is beyond the
scope of this manual and is covered separately.
Please refer to the
CarveWright
software
user's manual on the included CD for further
information.
It is advisable
to have a supply of suitably sized scrap wood on
hand for trial cuts.
Very often it is desirable to tweak details in a
design before doing a final carving.
