Make sure that the machine is not be damaged or distorted during the transportation process.

After open the package, check whether the spare parts are the same with the packing list. Check whether the specification you ordered fits the machine’s nameplate (voltage and KVA)

Check whether there is any abnormity or foreign material in the machine.

2. Safety Notice

This chapter mainly introduces the machine usage notice; the user must read this carefully to avoid the suddenness.

The machine should put on the balanced table, adjust the fundus to make sure the machine can’t shake and keep it horizontal.

Please use the appointed voltage according to the instruction, connect power and put through the grounding wire.

Please do not connect many electronic products on one outlet to avoid overburden.

The engraving machine is high speed working machine; the main spindle speed can reach to 24000RPM. So the operator should wear work clothes and hat, forbidden to wear gloves.

When the machine is working, the operator should keep distance with it. Forbidden to touch the cutter and other motorial parts.

Triangle plug (ground wire) is available for this machine. This just for ground wire type plug use and this is the safety device. If you cannot use this kind of plug, please ask the electrician for help. But do not discard the safety device.

Do not put anything on the electrical power cable, and do not put the cable in the place that someone else can touch.

Do not make the receptacle or the branch wires afford over-voltage, or there may fire hazard and electric shock.

Please don’t put anything into the aperture or put thing in the machine, or else may get an electronic shock, on fire or other danger caused by dangerous pressure or short circuit.

In order to avoid getting an electric shock, please do not disassemble this machine. If it needs repairing, please take it to the qualified repairing center. Disassembly of this machine may bring the electric or some other dangers. The incorrect reassembly may cause electric shock in the future using (unless operation under the instruction of professional engineers).

Under the following conditions, you need to pull the plug out from the receptacle, and consign the repairing work to the qualified repairing center:

1. When the cable and the plug are broken.
2. If some liquid inflow the machine.
3. If this machine is rained or watered.
4. If operation is done as what the instruction says, but this machine cannot work, you can only adjust the controlling part of this machine. Otherwise if you adjust other parts incorrectly, you may cause damage of this machine.

About the tool magazine parameters setting

Press the key OFFSET ,you will see the windows, like the picture.

The mark. Press the key ④.

You will see the R variable.

R11-R18: TOOL1-8 X LOCATION

R31-R38: TOOL1-8 Y LOCATION

R51-R58: TOOL1-8 Z LOCATION

Then how to get the number. here is an example.

T1.

HERE IS THE STEPS

1, the spindle must be having a tool.

2 Use MPG move the tool to the T1 location.

Yes ,the location is the loose tool and catch tool location .

Then now we do not move the machine ,back to the screen .

Check the Machine coordinate

Yes (here is an example, the number) .

X: 150.0 R11: 150.0

Y: 150.0 R31: 150.0

Z: -100.0 R51: -100.0

3 loose tool. then up.

R42: after loose the tool the z axis will up to the point.

R43: after catch the tool the machine will move to this point.

R30: the tool sensor X coordinate

R40: the tool sensor Y coordinate

R41: The shortest tool can touch the sensor Z coordinate

All the number is coordinate number ,it is not the distanc.all the number is the Machine coordinate number .
