1.
Wear Proper Personal
Protective Equipment
Eye protection is required whenever
using WAZER. Non-slip footwear is also
recommended.
2.
Open On/Off Valve
Open the On/Off Valve, which will turn on the
water supply. Forgetting to do this could lead
to damage to the Pump Box and to a Failed
Cut. Make sure that water is flowing to WAZER
and that you know how to turn the water off
in case of an emergency.
3.
Fill the Tank
Do NOT run WAZER with a low water level
in the Tank.
The water in the Tank is critical
to protect the bottom of WAZER from the Jet
during cutting. Make sure the Tank is filled
approximately to the top level of the Cut
Bed. WAZER has sensors that can measure
the amount of water in the Tank, so the
Water Level does not need to be precise;
as long as it is within 1/4” above or below
the top surface of the Cut Bed. It will take
approximately 15 gallons of water to reach
this level.
To fill the Tank, open the Door and manually
add water with a bucket or a hose.
This will be required the first time you use
WAZER, when servicing the machine, and if
WAZER has been sitting idle resulting in water
evaporation.
4.
Level the Cut Bed
You may notice that the Cut Bed and water
level are not parallel. This may occur if the
machine is not level on the surface it is
placed OR if the Cut Bed is not level. If your
machine is not level you may have water
management errors in the future. If your
cut bed is not level, it is guaranteed that
you will have back flows and failed cuts in
the near future. We highly recommend you
check how level the machine is by referring to
Maintenance > Leveling the Cut Bed.
5.
Secure the Water Drain Hose
Ensure that the Water Drain Hose is correctly
positioned, free of obstructions and secure to
avoid water spillage.
6.
Check for Leaks
Inspect the area around WAZER, Pump Box
and accompanying hoses for leaks. If there is
a leak or things get wet that likely shouldn’t
have, please turn everything off, wipe it down,
and LET IT DRY overnight before seeing if
anything was damaged and is still working.
7.
Confirm all Electrical Connections
Ensure the Pump Box Power Cable and
WAZER Power Cable are plugged into the
appropriate outlets. Make sure that there is
a solid green light illuminated on the GFCI/
PRCD. If not, press the reset button on
the module. Check that the Signal Cable is
connected to the Pump Box.
8.
Position Water Sensor Alarms
Take the two Water Sensor Alarms from the
Accessory Kit and place them around WAZER.
We recommend placing one on the table
below the Tank, and the other behind the
Pump Box. Make sure they are turned ON.
These sensors will sound an audible alarm if
they get wet, alerting you to a possible leak.
Note that the Water Sensor Alarms are NOT
connected to WAZER and will NOT pause
its operation.
It is critical that you regularly
test the sensors by touching the bottom pins
with a metal object to ensure that they are
working.
Preparation
Do not attempt to cut if you have not completed the Setup outlined in Section 4 of this User
Manual. Also, refer to WAZER System Dissection in Section 3 to familiarize yourself with all the
components of WAZER. We will be referencing these parts by name throughout the remainder of
this section.
Checklist: Before You Cut
Complete this procedure before every Cut. If this is your first time using WAZER, take some extra
time to make sure everything is done correctly.
