open.
The cover must be closed before the machine can proceed.
"_" USE A SUPPORT FOR LONG WORKPIECES. To minimize the risk of
over stressing the machine, use sturdy roller stands (additional
accessory) for workpiece support when carving long workpieces more
than 36 inches in length.
"_'WHEN LOADING THE WORKPIECE, there are several critical checks to
make before proceeding.
o Do not attempt to load a workpiece that has a significant taper to the
sides. A tapered workpiece will bind between the sliding plate and the
squaring plate and will damage the traction drive.
o Do not attempt to load a workpiece that varies in thickness by more
than 1/16" along its entire length. Using a workpiece with a larger
thickness variation than 1'16" can lead to damage to the machine.
"_" MAKE SURE THAT THE HEAD LOCKING LEVER IS RELEASED after
finishing carving. If the locking lever is not released the head will not
move up and down. The lever is in the locked position if it is rotated out
from the face of the machine. It is in the released position if it is flush to
the front face of the head.
"_YTO AVOID SNIPE, use outfeed roller stands for long workpieces. Any
workpiece over 3 feet long will require that additional stand-alone outfeed
rollers be used to support the workpiece. Make sure the rollers are
adjusted properly to avoid letting the workpiece sag or rise up against the
upper rollers. Any uneven transition going on and off the rollers will be
seen in the finished carving, similar to snipe effects from a power planer.
"_'WHEN CARVING LARGE the machine should

be secured to the bench for stability. Holes are provided in the four
corners to bolt the machine down.
"(_" USE ONLY QUALITY TOOLS. Be sure cutters are sharp and not
damaged. Use only approved cutting bits.
"_" FOR BEST CARVING RESULTS
o Always make sure the Board Tracking Sensor that contacts the
bottom of the workpiece has a smooth, even surface to follow. This
means that the bottom edge area of the workpiece adjacent to the
squaring plate is clean, smooth, and even for a width of at least 1/4
inch along the full length of the workpiece.
o Keep all vector cuts at lease 3/4" away from the left edge. This will
assure that the Board Tracking Sensor will remain in contact with the
board at all times.
