Safety Precautions and Warnings

The Revolution Rotating Axis CNC Router has a 110vac Power Supply and uses bits

that spin up to 30,000 rpm with cutting edges that are sharp and hazardous. The

operator must understand the potential hazards and is responsible to take

appropriate safety precautions before operating the Router.

•Only use extension cords rated for 20 amps plugged into a dedicated outlet.

•Inspect the machine before every use for maintenance issues: loose fasteners,

belts, etc.

•Do not operate the machine with dull or damaged router bits.

•Always unplug machine after each use and when cleaning the router or changing

router bits.

•Remove rings, bracelets, watches, necklaces before using the machine.

•Wear snug fitting clothing and/or roll up long sleeves to prevent snagging.

•Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when operating machine

including safety glasses and hearing protection.

•Keep hands, hair and clothing away from the moving parts of the machine.

•Do not operate the machine when under the influence of alcohol or prescription

medications.

•Make certain the workpiece is clamped securely in place before starting the

machine.

•Never leave the machine running unattended.

•Children must be supervised by adults when operating the machine.

•Do not operate the machine in the presence of flammable materials.

•Keep floors clean, dry, and free of debris to eliminate slip and/or trip hazards.

•Have a suitably rated fire extinguisher on hand when the machine is in operation.

Getting Started

Required Tools:

A pair of long nose pliers and/or forceps.

Diagonal Cutters or sharp knife to trim nylon ties.

Calipers or measuring tape to measure part placement.

Small standard screwdriver to connect electronics.

Phillips screwdrivers to mount Home Switches and Stepper Motors.

220 grit sandpaper to remove laser marks on wood pieces (if desired).

LOCTITE 242™thread lock (fingernail polish can be used as a substitute).

Set of Metric Sockets and SAE Wrenches.

Set of Metric and SAE Long Reach Allen Wrenches.

To Operate the REVOLUTION Rotating Axis Router, you need will need:

Computer with control software for GRBL.

Materials for Projects.

1/4” Shaft Router bits.

Assembly Recommendations:

Use a large, flat, clean work surface for assembling your REVOLUTION.

All Screws (unless noted) should be installed snug, then rotated 1-2 ½

turns.

Apply LOCTITE 242™to all M4 Machine Screws that are used to secure

plywood pieces except for the 4 screws that clamp the router in the final

assembly.

Light sanding may be required to remove any marks made by the laser.

Painting or applying stain with a clear coat will provide extra protection to

the wood components.

You may wish to using strips of 1-inch blue painters’ tape behind the T-

Slots to help hold the Nuts in place during assembly. A telescoping

magnetic pickup tool can also be a handy way of placing and holding small

Nuts during assembly.

Lock Nuts are never used to secure components that have T-Slots. They

are only used to mount components where the Nut is not held in a

T-Slot.

CAUTION This kit contains numerous small

components that pose a choking risk for small

children and pets. Keep kit pieces in a secure

location out of the reach or small children and pets.
