SAFETY FIRST!!!!!!!!
1. Have two people in the room, Pull hair up, Safety goggles, ear muffs, don't mess with cables
2. Run spindle warm up routine
3. Confirm material thickness (use digital ruler and write on board in pencil
4. Move machine out of the way
5. Check to see if you can safely put in material- z-axis must be high enough
6. Secure your material (use wood screws); wood screws should not go past “throw-away board”
7. Decide what bit you need (different bits used for Engraved, pocket, and profile cuts)
8. Changing the bit:
a. Handle with care- can easily be dulled when dropped
b.Move machine towards the open end (side not near the cables)
c. Turn black knob to lower dust collector (alpha) or pull down (desktop)
d. Top wrench- clockwise Bottom wrench- counter clockwise
e. Take out bit when loose and put it away in white box
f. Take bit and hand tighten first, then use tools
g. Do not push the bit into the chuck past the flutes
9. To zero out z-axis use led button with a Z (engraving- take z-axis from material; any other cuts- take z-axis from table). Match it with blue hexagon thing- right on top of it. Then, click to set z axis and hit enter.
10. Remove clip of blue hexagon thing- alligator clip
11. Make an origin- bring up yellow calculator
12. Note: Blue button- reset Green button- start
13. Actually cutting:
a. Run pocket cuts called hold down screws (depth should be .05). This is where you should drill the screws to make sure that the CNC will not hit the screws. The screws to hold down the
board before drilling the hold down screws should be totally out of the way and should be removed after the hold down screws are drilled in.
b. After zeroing the z-axis and returning to the origin, set to 3D offset (does just the outline, so no actual cutting)
c. Key must be in and turned
d. Return to origin
e. Set offset to no offset
f. Press green start to start spindle
g. Turn fan on
h. After doing the above, hit enter
