IMPORTANT: KEEP YOUR TECHNO CD-ROM. IT CONTAINS ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION.
NOTE ¹: Voltage on the main
power line must be measured
and the correct tap on the input
transformer must be selected.
NOTE ²: Clean, dry air must be
used otherwise damage to the
spindle and air solenoids will
result. THIS IS NOT COVERED
UNDER WARRANTY.
It is strongly recommended
that all 220 and 440VAC
connections be connected
through a power disconnect
switch (example seen left) for
use with either CNC Router
spindle and/or vacuum pump
setup. This switch is required
for safety and to meet National
Electrical Codes. A licensed
electrician should perform this
installation.

and the collet wrenches are supplied
with the unit. Refer to manual on how
to teach tool locations.
Note¹: Make sure the distance
between Tool Holders is greater than
the length of the vacuum shroud/dust
collector.
WARNING: Direction of Rotation is critical. Briefly start motion and check rotation (arrow
on casing). Exchange phases if rotation is incorrect. IF YOU RUN THE PUMP/BLOWER
CONTINUOUSLY IN THE WRONG DIRECTION THE VANES WILL BE DAMAGED.
The dust collector shroud is
mounted through the block next to
the spindle and the dust collector
hose should be attached to the
fitting supplied with the shroud.

II. HOW TO USE THE VACUUM TABLE (CONT.)
Vacuum Hold-Down - 1
The Techno Vacuum Table is very effective in
“holding down” parts to be routed. For this method
to work and work well, simple procedures need
to be followed. First, you need to define the
area where your workpiece will be positioned on
the vacuum table. Second, using the red rubber
plugs, you need to plug-up and close-off all of the
area outside your defined work area. Fill in ALL
the vacuum grid holes outside your defined work
area with the plugs and leave the holes within your
work area open. Next, use the black foam rubber
gasketing to section/wall-off your work area. The
idea is to create an area of concentrated vacuum,
which will generate the greatest amount of vacuum
“hold-down.”
Vacuum Hold-Down - 2
After you have defined your workpiece
area and closed off all the vacuum
outside of that area, there is another
option to greater your vacuum: the
vacuum control valves. Each valve
controls the flow of vacuum to two rows
of extrusions. Turn ON (valve vertical)
the valves that pertain to your work area
and turn OFF (valve horizontal) the ones
outside of that area. This will concentrate
all the vacuum “hold-down” capacity to
your defined work area.
NOTE: You do not need to plug vacuum
holes in a section that has the valve
turned OFF.
WARNING: Proper care should be taken to make sure that objects held down with the vacuum table
are secure. There is a danger that objects held down with the vacuum can become loose and could be
thrown by the action of the cutting tool. Proper safety precautions against flying debris must be taken.
Safety glasses must be worn when the vacuum table is being used.
Important Gasketing Installation Notes:
1) DO NOT STRETCH the gasket material while
inserting it into the gasket slots. This will
produce tears in the gasket material which
causes leaks leading to the loss of vacuum
and unsecure pieces flying off of the vacuum
table.
2) When joining two separate pieces of gasket
material, make sure to push them together
so the two pieces forma tight seal.

PREMIUM CLASS MACHINE MAINTENANCE
For regular work loads, machine maintenance is
required at least once a month. The machine should
also be lubricated once it is received.
Warning: Before inserting any object into the
machine, press the E-stop button.
Notes: Do not use WD-40 or silicon spray on
the machine. It may damage the drive
components of the machine.
Use the Grease and Oil recommendations
listed on the previous page, paying close
attention to what grease/oil must be
used!
I. LONG AXIS (Y) BALL SCREW:
1. Clean the ball screw with a dry rag removing old
grease and debris that may have collected.
2. Apply grease on the ball screw and run the
machine back and forth several times to spread
the grease out. By applying the grease and
running the axis back and forth, small particles
that may have collected in the ball nut may be
flushed out. It is recommended to repeat steps 1
and 2 again.
II. X-AXIS, Z-AXIS
BALL SCREWS AND END BEARINGS:
Notes: To access the X-Axis you must first remove
the top panel covering it. This can be done by
unscrewing the screws on either side of the
axis and lifting the panel completely off of the
machine.
On the reverse side of the X-Axis are
the Ball Nuts, remember to apply grease to
those fittings!
1. Clean the ball screws with a dry rag, removing old
grease and debris that may have collected.
2. Apply grease to the the grease fittings on the ball
nuts and the grease fittings located on the end bear-
ings of the X-Axis and grease Z-Axis.
3. Run the machine back and forth along the axes
several times to spread the grease out and complete
the process.

III. THK RAILS:
THK specifications indicate that a small amount of
grease needs to be applied to the rails after 4 months
of use.
The following pictures indicate the location of the
grease fittings. Be sure to grease all 4 fittings, on all
three axes!
