Assembly tips
1. Take breaks when needed
The assembly process can take a few to several hours. Pace yourself and enjoy the process - after all, you are
learning CNC as a hobby!
2. Read the instructions
Many issues during assembly can be solved by re-examining the instructions. Check that you didn’t skip a
page and that you completed the previous step correctly. Some steps are hard to explain and some parts
have names that are hard to remember so looking at the pictures more closely can also help you to better
understand what needs to be done. Reading is encouraged if you’d like more detail on where to locate the
part, what function it serves on the machine, and other elaborative information.
Our assembly videos can’t be updated as often as the online or PDF instructions so if packaging or parts
change the written manual will always be able to clarify these changes.
3. Remember the language
This manual contains some technical language as well as a distinct visual language. Keeping these in mind will
make the assembly easier for you to understand and ensure that less mistakes happen.

step for added clarity
•

a loose placement of the part and red indicating a firm
tightening required to fasten the part into place
