Using two or more people, place the
mill on a sturdy table, desk or
countertop capable of supporting
150 lbs. Make sure the mill has at
least a four-inch clearance on all
sides.
WARNING: To prevent injury, two
or more people should lift and
place the mill in its location.
2Set up the computer components:
monitor, keyboard and mouse close
to the mill.
3As a safety precaution, always
connect the power cords for the mill,
computer and monitor to easily
accessible three-pronged grounded
power outlets.
WARNING: Make sure the power
cord connections are accessible
at all times so disconnections can
be made during an emergency.
4Connect the computer to the mill
with the USB cable.
5Make the coolant using the
directions in the Preparing Coolant
section on page 14. (Coolant warning
and hazard information are in the
Routine Maintenance and Operations
section of these instructions.)
6Pour the prepared coolant into the
trough to the MAX ll line (1500 mL)
on the right side of the trough.
7Slide the trough into the mill until it
clicks into the locked position with
the trough door completely closed.
8Turn on the computer and the mill.
The CloudPoint®Mill Control Panel
will open onto the computer screen.
9Click “CHANGE TOOL.”

10 Open the mill door, remove the
collet pin from the tool holder (collet),
and save the collet pin.
CAUTION: Keep a tool or collet
pin in the tool holder at all times.
Leaving the tool holder empty can
damage the collet.

case, depending on material type,
into the tool holder and click “OK”
on the computer screen.
12 If ready to mill, continue to the next
section.
13 Allow the mill to go into a sleep mode
when all jobs have been completed
for the day. At the scheduled time,
during off hours, the mill will “wake
up” and warm-up the spindle for
about fteen minutes.

Routine Maintenance
Coolant
Glidewell Dental Mill Coolant Concentrate, also known as AmberCut™389K, is a synthetic machining coolant concentrate. The prepared
coolant used in the mill does not contain any signicant hazardous materials at a dilution of 4.8-6.3%. Nevertheless, during the dilution
process and the handling of used coolant, safety glasses and gloves should be worn. Contact the manufacturer of AmberCut 389K to
obtain the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Coolant Concentrate Hazard and Warning Information
Eye and Skin Irritant
Hazard Identification and First Aid Measures
a. EYES – Contact with eyes may cause moderate eye irritation. Rinse eyes with large quantities of water if eyes become
irritated.
b. SKIN – Prolonged or repeated exposure to the skin may cause irritation. Rinse skin with large quantities of water if skin
becomes irritated.
c. INHALATION – The coolant is not an inhalation hazard under normal conditions. If respiratory irritation does occur, move the
person into a well-ventilated environment or into the fresh air.
d. INGESTION – Ingestion may cause stomachache, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and headaches. If ingestion occurs, dilute
stomach contents with water and get medical attention. Do not induce vomiting.
Preparing Coolant
Make 1500 mL of coolant in the provided fastmill.io pitcher. With eye
protection and gloves on, add 95 mL of Glidewell Dental Coolant Concentrate
to the 95 mL ll line, then ll with distilled or reverse osmosis water to the
1500 mL ll line and mix. Pour the prepared coolant into the trough to the
MAX ll line (1500 mL) on the right side of the trough. MAX, upper ll line
MIN, lower ll line

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The Mill Control Panel will prompt coolant
changes when the coolant life has expired.
Click “CHANGE COOLANT” in order to
replace the coolant more often.
WARNING: Sharp material
particles may be present in the
basin, filters or trough. Wear
safety glasses and gloves for
protection.
1
With the mill on, click “CHANGE
COOLANT” on the Mill Control Panel.
The trough will be released.
2
Open the trough door, and carefully
pull out the trough.
3
Remove and rinse the main lter,
splash guard, and the coolant lter
cover with water. Without unplugging
the internal lter, empty and
thoroughly rinse the trough and
internal lter.
CAUTION: Do not unplug the
internal filter.
4
Place the internal lter, with the
curved spring up, back into the
trough.
5
Place the main lter on top of the
trough. Then, make coolant using
the directions in the Preparing
Coolant section. Fill the trough with
1500 mL of fresh coolant.
WARNING: Do not place the
trough on top of the mill when
refilling with prepared coolant.
6
Carefully reinsert the trough into the
mill until it clicks into the locked
position with the trough door
completely closed.

Clean the mill on a weekly basis.
• Clean external surfaces with a clean
lint-free cloth or paper towel and
water.
• Clean the internal surfaces of the
machining chamber.
a) Door – Wipe down the inside of the
door using a clean lint-free cloth or
paper towel and water.
b) Milling area – With a spray bottle
of water and a toothbrush,
spray and brush all surfaces
to prevent excess buildup.
Wipe down with a clean
lint-free cloth or paper towel and
water.
c) Basin – With gloves on, carefully
remove glass fragments from the
drain holes and rinse the basin
thoroughly.

Maintaining the Spindle (continued)
To prevent skin irritation, wear gloves during cleaning and lubricant application. Contact manufacturer to obtain the
Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
9
Place a small dot of lubricant on the collet and smear it all over the outside of the collet.
Step #9 – Lubricate collet
Do not over tighten the collet into the spindle shaft during reinstallation of the collet. Over tightening may damage
the collet.
10
Reinstall the collet into the spindle shaft by hand. Gently twist the collet until the collet stops turning in the shaft.
11
Insert a tool and then tighten the collet, using the collet wrench, for a snug t. Do not over tighten the collet into place.
12
Once the collet is tight, click “OK” to “Please load a new Grinding Tool.” The collet will lock onto the tool.
