Turning on the Machine

Note:

 Before you turn on the machine remove all tools and other objects 

from the machine table.

Release the emergency stop by twisting clock wise and it will pop out.

Press the green start button, this will turn power on to the machine.

Pressing the green button will also power the controller and the display 

will light up.

The screen will display “Go to Home?”

Ensure that the table surface is clear of obstructions and press the 

green Origin/OK button.

The router head will move to the home position on the table.

Note: 

“Home” is a mechanical position that is a constant determined 

by switches on each of the 3 axes.

X+= Across [from left-to-right when standing in front of the machine]

Z+= vertical [up].

By pressing HIGH LOW / 0 and MENU / - the display will change to 

AX=0, AY=0, and AZ=0. When the X, Y and Z have an A in front, this

denotes that the dimensions displayed are in reference to the 

machine’s home position. When the X, Y, and Z values are displayed 

with a number [1-9] this indicates the dimensional relationship of the 

machine from the machine’s “Origin”.
