You will connect one to the water pump,
and the other will be placed in the water
container for the return water.
It is not important which pipe is used as
the return.
Fit the 90-degree connector to the
pump.
Connect one of the pipes to the water
pump by pushing into the 90-deg
connector. Lightly pull on the pipe to
ensure that it is connected correctly.
Fill a container about ¾ full with clean
water.
Note:
You will need to provide a coolant
tank with a minimum capacity of 5
gallons. If the shop temperature is high, the tank size will have to be larger. If
your shop is likely to be subject to freezing temperatures, antifreeze must be
added to the cooling water.
Lower the water pump into the container, ensuring that it is the correct way up
(water inlet lowest) and place the water return pipe into the container.
The logical position for the water container is just behind the control box close to
the caterpillar track. Ensure that it is close to the machine, as you do not want to
kick the container and spill the water.
Once the assembly is complete and the water pump electrical connection has
been made (plug the pump into the machine water pump socket), lift the water
return pipe up and check that the water is flowing.
Place the lid onto the container to keep dust
and dirt out of the container.
Check the container periodically, as the water
will evaporate.
Note:
If the spindle is run without cooling,
it could be damaged and fail.
Fitting the router bit into the router head
Note:
Before changing or fitting the router bit, always
disconnect the power to the machine.
Note.
Collets & spindle collet hole must be cleaned
regularly. Ensure that the slots in the collets are free of
sawdust, as sawdust builds up and will stop the collet
compressing. If the collet or spindle hole are not clean,
the router bit may not run true, and this will affect the
performance of your machine.
1.
Select a pointed router bit and its relevant collet.
2.
Fit the collet into the spindle nut. Press the collet into
the spindle nut until it snaps into place.
