Quick-Start Guide for PRSalpha and PRSstandard tools
ShopBot machines require very lile maintenance, but to keep the machine running at its best, verify
the following items each day:
For spindles only, warm up the spindle using the spindle warm up roune (C5).
Clean collet, nut, and all bits, and check for signs of wear or damage. Clean collet and nut with a
brass brush and/or compressed air. Clean bits with an appropriate solvent that removes any resi-
due or gunk. Discard dull or damaged bits.
Visually inspect all wiring and hoses. Check for cuts, scrapes, or pinch points on the cables. If motor
cable is damaged, DO NOT run the machine as motor and driver damage is at risk. Call ShopBot
tech support (919-680-4800) for advice on how to proceed.
Ensure the machine and the area around it are clean. Check for any obstrucons on the rails and
brush away any debris.
Turn on the power. Push and pull the machine near each motor, along its axis of movement. The
motors should be locked in place with no movement. Mechanical looseness in any of the axes
should be corrected before proceeding. Contact ShopBot tech support (919-680-4800) for detailed
instrucons specic to the machine.
Check the gear rack on each axis and make sure that it is clean and free of any obstrucons (large
chips, material scraps, etc.).
