Adjusting the Wand Height for
Optimum Results
The default wand height setting may not be optimized for
your conditions to produce the desired uniformity of the cut.
If the Wand is too close to the top of the investment mold’s top
surface, you may get concentric “tree ring” patterns with thin
partitions between the “grooves”. If this is undesirable, you
can loosen the thumbscrew holding the wand to the swing
arm and raise the wand approximately 1/8". This will allow
for a wider “groove” or “track” during cutting so that you
don’t have the thin partitions between “tracks”.
A word of caution though, the farther away the Wand
is from the top of the investment mold, the less cutting
force at a given knob setting. You can compensate for
the reduced depth of cut by increasing the knob setting
by one “click” clockwise.
The maximum recommended gap between the end of the
cutting tip and the top of the investment mold should not
exceed 5/16" of an inch or else the outer wall of the
investment mold will be penetrated and this will
significantly alter the flatness of the “floor” of the resulting
divested area. (See below)

Diagnosing non-Cutting Issues
no Ready/Idle Indication
If the Ready/Idle indicator is off AND one of the cycle
indicators is lit, press the Abort key, which should cause
the cycle indicator to first extinguish, then after a few
seconds (and the swing arm going to the rear most park
position) the Ready/Idle indicator should light.
If the Ready/Idle indicator is off AND the Exhaust
Flow is off, please see “Vacuum Fault Indication” below.
If the Ready/Idle indicator is off AND no other indicators
are lit, please see “No Indicators Lit” below.
Vacuum Fault Indication
If the Vacuum indicator is lit, even when connected to a
running vacuum source, place your hand over the exhaust
port inside the cabinet. You should feel moderate suction.
If not, check the filter bag in your exhaust system. If you
still do not get the Exhaust Flow indication, pinch the sensor
tubing to see if there is any blockage in the sensor line, or
remove the tubing and manually blow it clear of debris
with an air jet. Replace the tubing and press the Reset
button. The Exhaust Flow indicator should now be lit.
If not, Call Technical Support.
