The user manual of the desktop-CNC

Notice:

1. This machine should be used with the PC parallel port and controlled by Mach 3 or other software.

The PC parallel port should work in condition of the EPP mode, the setup of the EPP mode should be

applied on the main board B!". #. $ou%d better use the PC to control the machine, especially for this machine and do not install other

software if conditions permit. &nd please do not use the 'aptop to control the machine, the battery of

some laptops will impact the pulse si(nal of the machine and the )olta(e of some parallel port is )ery low,

it will cause the lost of the si(nal.

*arn+

$ou should setup the software correctly, it will make the machine works well. f you do not do it well and

try to run the machine, it may dama(e the machine or cause the dan(er.

*hen you install or setup the machine, please do not turn on the control bo, it may cause some

dama(es.

Please do not put the connectors on the control bo, when it is power on. $ou should re(ulate the

spindle as the low speed when you want to restart it. The inter)al of the open-close button time should be

at least 3s, when you restart the spindle or turn on the control bo a(ain, otherwise it will cause the

dama(es of the control bo.

!ur machine is ##/, when it is power on, please do not open the control bo, do not touch the

wirin( connectors and not touch the runnin( cutters, please wear the (lasses or mask to protect yourself.

;1< !ur machine is made of the aluminum alloy, if you drop it from the top on the floor or hard hit, it will

dama(e the machine. Please put this machine on the stable desk, the thin desk may cause more

resonance when it is runnin(.

;#< n the electrical control bo, there are the switchin( power supply, stepper dri)er board, the spindle

speed re(ulator, please put it in a )entilatin( condition and around it, there should not ha)e the

electroma(netic interference within 1 meters.

;3< Pls sort out the power cables and connectin( cables, do not put it in a mess, maybe it will obstruct the

workin( of the machine. Please remain some ecess of the cable for the (antry and the ais.

;< Pls try to study yourself and test it, f you ha)e some Duestions, you can ask us or discuss it on the

C2C 8orum

#.The wirin( and yourself>checkin(

(1 /irin&:

Put the cables into the correspondin( port, on the connectors there print the , $, , the cable of the

spindle has no mark, but it is a two>wires plu(. !n the electrical control bo, it print the marks of the ports.

The 'MT>2 is the spare port for the th ais or eternal limit switch or E>stop etc.

2ow ?ust connect the , $, stepper motor cables and the spindle cable, but the parallel cable do not

connect it at first.

Please make sure that all the connectors are ti(ht to a)oid the loose contact.

!. 0ourself-checkin&

The aim of the checkin( is to make sure that the electrical control bo and the machine are well wired

and all ais can be controlled.

&t first, power off the spindle and the dri)er power, 0o is off, 0l is on, and re(ulate the spindle in this

safe position;see the photo belowstop switch is off.

Then wrest the ais screw by hand to feel it ;at this time you can mo)e it easily

mo)e,continue to ad?ust clockwise,spindle will run more and more Duickly.

emark+ f you face the spindle, the clockwise direction is the ri(ht direction. f you find the direction is

anticlockwise, please power off the spindle and echan(e the two connectors will be fine.

Notice:

(1./hen the spindle is power-on, the #olta&e $etween the two connectors of the spindle is

23'C, when the spindle is runnin&, please do not touch the cutters and wear the &lasses and

mask. please keep the children away from the machine.

(! 4efore powerin& on the spindle, please make sure the spindle speed re&ulator is in the safeposition and then power on the spindle and speed up slowly. /hen power off the spindle, you can

turn off the spindle power supply switch directly and re&ulate the speed re&ulator to the safe

position. 5f the speed re&ulator is in the hi&h-speed position, it will cause the $urnt of the fuse and

o#er current, this will do dama&e to the speed re&ulatin& $oard in the control $o.

f all the ais can mo)e, please check the direction of the ais coordinate is ri(ht;see below


17/23

P"+ you can use the keyboard to control the direction of the ais, and also you can use the manual control

keyboard of Mach 3 by usin( the mouse to control the mo)ement of the , $, ais.

Press theT&Bkey on the keyboard then it will pop>up the M&C: manual control interface as the fi(ure

below.
