Wheel Cleaning
Always clean a brand new wheel before using.
Wheels are packaged in rust preventative oil
and will load up if not cleaned before grinding. These wheels are maintenance free from truing
and dressing but will need cleaning periodically.
1. Remove the wheel from the unit.
2. Saturate the wheel with any type of oil-less solvent, such as automotive brake cleaner.
3. Use a soft bristle brush and lightly brush the saturated wheel loosening the impacted
grinding particles.
4.
Re-saturate the wheel to flush out any loosened debris.
5. Dry carefully with compressed air before re-installing.
6. Make sure the grind wheel arbor and grind wheel bore are contaminant free before
mounting the wheel.
Note:
If after cleaning the wheel, the drills still discolor or burn, the wheel life may be
exhausted and the wheel will need replaced.
After a wheel change, verify and/or recalibrate Material Take Off (MTO):
1. Remove the wheel from the unit.
2.
Use a 3/8 HSS standard twist drill, measure the length of drill before sharpening.
3.
Call up the Darex #1 file and sharpen a drill.
4. After sharpening the drill, measure the drills new length. MTO should be approximately
.005-.007.
5.
If incorrect, adjust using Wheel Offset screen.
Changing the Grind Motor & Vacuum Fuses
1. Unplug AC power.
2. Both sets of fuses are located on the back of the machine,
on the outside the electrical box panel near the cord
receptacle.
3.
Fuse holder is spring loaded. Using a flat head
screwdriver press in and turn counter-clockwise until
fuse holder backs out enough to hold on to, turn and remove.
4. Check continuity of new fuses and their holders before replacing.
5. Replace both Vacuum fuses or both Grind motor fuses, regardless of the appearance of the
second fuse.
Cleaning Fiber Optic Lens
For good drill alignment function, keep the fiber optic lens clean. Normal service period is
about every 14 days, depending on conditions, more often may be necessary.
To service, use a single drop of isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab and lightly clean lens.
Material Take Off (MTO)
Sensors 1 & 2:

compressed air may be required. (i.e. canned keyboard cleaner).
2.
