3: Dust Extraction & General Wood Precautions
3: Removal of Protective Coatings
Once your Microrouter has been sited and connected electrically, the
protective coatings and transit packaging must be removed to
prepare the machine for running:
1) The protective plastic sheeting on the guard windows should be
removed and the glass and perspex cleaned with an anti-static
cleaner.
2) Tie-wraps may be used in the working area of the machine, to
prevent movement of X axis components during transit.
To gain entry to the working area of the machine, power must be
supplied to the machine, in order to release the switch that locks
the safety guard door.
Insert the mains supply plug into an available socket, then power
up the machine using the square red on/off switch mounted on
the righthand side panel of the Microrouter cabinet. The on/off
switch will illuminate when power is being supplied to the
machine.
Cut and discard the tie-wraps.
3) Before using the machine, spray the slides and leadscrews with
the silicone lubricant (aerosol can) provided.
Dust Extraction Systems.
Your Microrouter is designed to run with a dust extraction system,
used to remove any potentially harmful wood dust particles from
within the working area of the machine.
The dust extraction system used should be independently tested to
ensure that dust is kept well below the maximum exposure limits set
by law. Denford can supply dust extraction systems for your
Microrouter, or you may wish to connect your own existing system.
The Microrouter should only be used with the dust extraction system
enabled.
Connect the pipe from your dust extraction system to the exit hole,
located in the top, rear corner of the left end of the Microrouter cabinet.
An adapter may be required, in order to obtain an efficient seal.
Warning.
The silicone lubricant
aerosol is extremely
flammable. Never use
the silicone lubricant
aerosol near a naked
flame, on any other
machine, or for any
other purpose.
Carefully read and
follow any instructions
or notices included with
the aerosol. Wear
safety glasses and a
suitable respiratory
mask when using the
aerosol.
Safety First!
