Chapter 2: Setup
Hardware Setup
The following sections describe the proper setup of the Edge system. This
includes attaching the Edge to your work surface and connecting the Edge to
your computer.
Mounting the Base
The counterbalance by the tension spring generates torque at the base of the
Edge; therefore, the mount must meet certain requirements to achieve optimum
machine accuracy.
N
OTE: The Edge must be mounted in a upright position. Do Not mount the
Edge in an inverted (upside down) or sideways position.
If you are not using a tripod, attach the 3½” threaded ring and surface mount
plate to any stable location. Tighten all cap screws to 100-inch pounds. To mount
the Edge:
1 Remove the
portable storage case from the shipping case.
