 You will see your job load on the table's preview window. Verify that it is completely on the table in the preview window. Note: If you do not see the job, then you need to set your project origin to a new location on the table. Continue with the next steps, and then try to preview your job.
Loading and Homing your material:
1.
 Clamp your material to the clamping Jig(s), and fix the jig(s) to the table.
2.
 Load your bit into the router motor, and tighten the collet using the provided wrenches at the machine.
3.
 Jog the router so the bit is over the starting point of your material.
4.
 Jog down the router bit so the tip of the bit is just touching the material.
5.
 Click on the "Z-0" Button. This sets the home position for the height.
6.
 Set the "Z-M" Button by clicking on the text part and typing in the thickness of the material. This is the maximum the bit will cut into the material. The Z-M should NEVER be greater than the overall material thickness.
7.
 Set the "Z-Up" Button by clicking on the text part and typing in the height. The Z-Up is how far the bit goes above the material before it moves horizontally. This should be high enough to clear any clamps.
8.
 Move the tip of the router bit up slightly, and them move it horizontally to the starting point on the material. Then click on the "Set Origin" button in the upper left hand corner of the screen.

Final Checks before cutting:
1.
 Make sure your initial Cutting Speed (Click on the Cutting Speed button, and then move the slider to adjust this setting) is set to 1.0 for wood, or 0.5 for plastics. You can adjust this setting after the job has started.
2.
 Check your Z-M setting, to make sure it does not exceed your material thickness.
If the Z-M exceeds your material thickness, you can seriously damage the CNC Router. Make sure Z-M is set to the same thickness as your material.

 Make sure your material location on the Router, and the Origin position on the machine software are set to the same location.
