Head Wheel Adjustment

WARNING: To avoid damage to the head, do not loosen the head wheel screws without first aligning the head to the middle of the board.

  • Go to the cut preview screen.

Image RemovedImage Added
  • Manually move the head and the gantry to the middle of the board, and click the power button and align the head in this position.

Image RemovedImage Added
  • Locate the head wheel adjustment Allen screws on the left side of the head under the blade depth adjustment plate.

  • They are next to the head wheels and are marked with red dots. Do not touch the Allen screws on the wheels themselves.

  • Loosen each head wheel adjustment Allen screw only until the wheels are loose; about two full turns.

  • The wheels are spring-loaded and will pop into place.

NOTE: If having difficulty getting the head wheels onto the gantry during head installation, loosen the head wheel adjustment screws, roll the head onto the gantry, then continue with the following instructions.

Image RemovedImage Added
  • Grasp the head with both hands and gently rock it back and forth to ensure that the wheels are lined up to the gantry grooves.

Image RemovedImage Added
  • Holding the head up so that it is level with the board, retighten the head wheel adjustment Allen screws consecutively; tighten the top screw half a turn, then the bottom screw half a turn, back to the top and continue until they are both tight.

Image RemovedImage Added
  • Check each of the head wheels to make sure there is no movement.

  • There are the two visible wheels on the left side of the head under the blade depth adjustment plate, and two wheels on the backside of the gantry, which can be felt by hand.

  • They should sit firmly into the gantry groove and be difficult to turn.

Image RemovedImage Added
  • If not, repeat these steps of loosening the wheels, gently rocking the head back and forth, then retightening the wheels.

Image RemovedImage Added
  • The head wheels have now been adjusted.

  • Click on the reset motors button, click OK on the reset motors screen if it displays.
