YORA SILVERBACK BENCHTOP CNC ROUTER 6060
USER MANUAL
Version 1.3 • April, 2022

Purpose
This Manual is intended for assembly of the Yora SilverBack Benchtop CNC
Router. This manual is designed to cover the basic functionality of the
machine and software, and may not address every aspect or option present.
Before beginning assembly, we recommend conducting an inventory using
the Packing List to ensure all components are present. NOTE - there may be
extra hardware included; this is normal, in case items get dropped or lost.
Please read these instructions carefully before assembling your machine to
prevent possible damage to your machine.

Safety1/3
➔Read and understand the entire user manual before attempting assembly or operation
➔Do not use the CNC router for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes,
YoraHome disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury
that may result from that use.
➔Always wear approved safety glasses/face shield while using CNC router machine. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses
➔Before operating CNC router, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up
past the elbows.
➔Do not wear loose clothing. Confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are
recommended. Do not wear gloves.
➔Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation. Do not operate
CNC router while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

Safety2/3
➔Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting CNC router machine to the
power supply
➔Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with CNC router unplugged from the power
source.
➔Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horseplay”
are careless acts that can result in serious injury.
➔Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job
for which it was not designed. The right tool will do the job better and more safely.
➔Do not touch a bit immediately after use, it will be hot and may cause skin burns.
➔Never leave CNC router running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave CNC router until
it comes to a complete stop.
➔Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting CNC router.

Safety3/3
➔Always secure workpiece to spoil board using clamps or double-sided tape. Never hold
workpiece down by hand while operating.
➔Make sure workpiece is free from nails or other foreign objects.
➔After installing a bit, make sure collet is securely tightened. An unsecured bit may fly loose
from the collet and cause injury.
➔The SilverBack CNC router is intended for carving and cutting wood, acrylics, plastics and soft
metal, etc. Do not use it to cut hard metals.
➔Be within reach of the Emergency Stop or pause button when the machine is in operation. In
the event of an emergency, or if there are any conditions that may result in injury to yourself or
others, the SilverBack is equipped with an Emergency Stop button on top of the Controller.
When pressed, this button will latch in the Stop position. To reset, twist the red knob
clockwise.
