By way of giving you a little guidance: It takes one of us about 6 hours to assemble a
ShopBot, so we think you should be able to put your ShopBot together over a pleasant
weekend if you've already read through this Assembly Manual. Of course, the IRS thinks
that preparing your 1040 should take 2 hours and 43 minutes, with a further 23 minutes for
copying, assembling, and mailing the form!!
There are several stages in the assembly process where having a helper or two will be
useful to you. In particular, you will want help unloading and unpacking, getting the table
assembly started, and putting the X-Car on the rails.
Please remember that several of the components are very heavy!
Connection to Electrical Service
The Control Box for a PRS alpha tool needs to be connected to your electrical service by a
licensed electrician. This connection can be made at any convenient time, before or after
you complete assembly of the tool. The electrician does not need to be present when you
plug the wiring from the tool into the Control Box. However, it may be best to wait until the
tool is assembled and in its final position before having the electrical service hooked up.
Waiting will allow you to make sure you have the Control Box positioned in the best location
for your tool. The complete wiring diagrams for connecting the Control Box can be found
inside the door of the Control Box and will be needed by the electrician to correctly wire the
box into the electrical service.
If you have purchased a high frequency spindle and/or a vacuum blower, these will also
need to be wired by a licensed electrician. The electrician will wire the spindle into the
Control Box and connect the appropriate electrical service. The electrician will also wire your
blower to the correct electrical service.
The Control Box for a PRSstandard tool plugs into a standard 110v/15A (or 220v
international) circuit. However, if you have spindle or blower, you should have an electrician
do the wiring for these accessories.
