Preparing the Mainboard
Verify the pre-populated and the jumpers matches the image.
Add two jumpers (red) to short the Z2 port.
Add jumbers as indicated in yellow.
Insert the fuse indicated in blue, if not already installed.
The FET Modules are not installed when you receive the mainboard. Remember to install them as indicated in green box otherwise the fans are not going to work.

Toolsetter
Place a sleeve bearing and a 0.5x8x10 spring onto the sex bolt.
Install the sex bolt into the top hole of the printed toolsetter .
Scure the sex bolt with an M4x8 SHCS screw.
You can add M4x7x1 washers between the screw and sexbolt in case the bolt cannot trigger the microswitch.
Cover the Optical Long John PCB and secure with M2x10 self-tapping screws.

The Emergency-Stop Button
The Emergency Stop (E-Stop) button is used in emergency situations to quickly switch the machine into a safe state. To use the E-Stop, the user simply needs to push on the red button: the machine would then immediately stop all movement and the spindle would also be stopped. To cancel the E-Stop, the user twists the red cap clockwise - this pops the E-Stop button back to its default position.
When the E-Stop button is not pressed, the center contact is pressed down causing the two terminals (labelled 11 and 12) to be closed.
When the E-Stop button is pushed, the center contact is pulled up causing the terminals to be open.

Initial Electronics Placement
Refer to the photo and place the power supply, wire ducts, and PCBs.
Use M5x10 BHCS screws to secure the mainboard mount. Use M5x12 BHCS screws for the WAGO terminals. Use M5x6 BHCS screws for wire ducts. Use M5x8 BHCS screws for all other mounts.
Stick the antenna of the mainboard to the from skirt of the table.

2. Below Deck Wiring
AC Inlet to WAGO Terminal
If the AC inlet you received is not pre-wired. Follow the layout as shown in the picture. We recommend attaching the cables to the AC inlet before installing it onto the rear skirt.
Install the AC inlet to the rear skirt of the table.
Connect each end of the live (L, brown), neutral (N, blue), earth (PE, yellow/blue) ends of the cable to a seperate WAGO terminal as shown in the picture.

WAGO Terminal to Power Supply
Connect each of the Live (L, brown), neutral (N, blue), earth (PE, yellow/green) ends of the cables to a seperate WAGO terminal. Then connect the other ends to the PSU as shown in the picture.

Installing the E-Stop Button
To install the E-stop, you have to disassemble it first. By pressing on white tab while pulling on the button cap, you can seperate the contact box from the button stalk.
Pay attention to the grooves on the yellow button stalk, these grooves only allow you to re-attach the contact box in a specific orientation.
Insert the button stalk through the circular hole in the front skirt, then re-attach the contact box. Make sure the orient the contact box properly: the side without labelling should face out.
