1.6   Attach the Grounding Cable to the Spindle Mount (Optional) 

To attach the grounding cable: 

1.

 

Insert the banana plug into the round port on the top of the BitRunner V2. See 

Figure 6.

 

 

 

NOTE:

 We recommend using the included grounding cable to ground the spindle/router in case of 

static discharge or electromagnetic interference (EMI). We especially recommend grounding the 
spindle during the winter, or in very dry or EMI-noise-heavy environments.
