For more see: http://www.able-engravers.com/roland-... • If you would like more information on • the EGX-350 please see our product page: • http://www.able-engravers.com/roland-... • And, as always, if you have any • questions please feel free to contact us. • Email: [email protected] • Phone: 1-800-383-5185 / 847-676-3737 • Web: http://www.able-engravers.com/ • ----- • Prior to opening the box, make note of the machine's serial number and register your machine with Roland, in case you need service and support. • To unpack the machine, remove the two yellow packing straps that you see here. • Next, pull the top cover off of the machine and set it to the side. • You want to go ahead and remove the two accessory boxes located on the top of the foam packing and set those to the side. • Then you want to remove the tape that holds the packing to the machine, and remove the foam packing and the plastic surrounding the machine. • Also you want to go ahead and remove any additional packing tape that is on the machine. • Using two people, place the EGX-350 on a solid, steady surface with ample room to work. • The EGX-350 includes a hex wrench, a hex driver, the vacuum hose, AC power cord, user manual and software cd's, handy panel, two spanner wrenches, .125 engraving cutter, .010 engraving cutter, eighth inch and eleven sixty-fourth inch collet, nosecone and retaining screw. • [00:02:04] • Next, remove the shipping brackets, using the supplied hex wrench, starting with the center bracket, the right bracket, then manually move the carriage to the right to remove the bracket on the left. • Next, insert the USB cable to the left rear of the machine, making sure not to connect it to the PC just yet, and then insert the handy panel cable. • On the right rear of the machine, connect the AC power cable and then press the main power switch to the On position. • To power on the EGX-350, rotate the red Emergency Stop button, located on top, clockwise until the machine powers on. The machine will display the model and firmware version. • Press the Enter key to start the initialization process. The machine will initialize the Z-axis, the X-axis and the Y-axis, and stop at the View position. • To set up your collet, decide which one you want to use: either the eighth inch or eleven sixty-fourths inch. For our set-up, we will use the eighth inch collet. • We want to set the spanner wrench on the top of the spindle and then take our collet to the bottom of the spindle and install it, which is reverse threaded manually. • Once the collet is snug, we want to set our second spanner on the bottom to tighten it down. • Now we are ready to install our nosecone. • To install the nosecone, you wanna thread it to the spindle unit, making sure not to cross thread it. You wanna tighten it all the way up until it stops. • Once it stops, we wanna back it off to zero. Then we wanna go ahead and back it off two full turns, again setting it to zero. • [00:04:36] • Once this is done, we wanna go ahead and lock the nosecone in place by placing the retaining screw on the front side of the spindle unit. • Using the hex driver, you wanna remove the brass cutter knob from one of the cutters. • We then wanna install this brass cutter knob to the top of the spindle assembly which, again, is a reverse thread. You can use the spanner wrench to hold the spindle in place while you tighten down the cutter knob. • Ensure the cover is closed and on the handy panel we want to press the Menu key until you see the Home View in Z Movement menu. • Press the right arrow to select View and hit the Enter key to move the carriage to the View position for set-up. • At this point, we'll open the cover and take the included AS-10 sheet and place it to the lower left corner of the engraving table. • Once we have it placed, we are now ready to configure the EGX-350 for engraving. • Please see Chapter 2 of 4 for configuration of the EGX-350 for scribing. • ----- • If you would like more information on • the EGX-350 please see our product page: • http://www.able-engravers.com/roland-... • • -----
