3. Loosen the four screws securing the drip guard to the front of the machine table with a 4 mm hex wrench. Then, remove the drip guard and set it aside.

4. Remove the tool tray from the machine table with a 4 mm hex wrench. Set aside the screws and the tool tray.

5. Identify the X-axis motor below the left side of the machine table.

6. Identify the Y-axis motor on the rear of the machine.

7. Remove the motor mount cover from the X- and Y-axis motor with a 3 mm hex wrench. Set aside the screws and the motor mount cover.

8. Identify the four set screws on both motor couplers, and examine the direction to which they point. To easily access the set screws, they must point toward you.

9. Depending on the direction in which the set screws are pointing, do one of the following:

   1. Set Screws Pointing Toward You Go to Step 10.

   2. Set Screws Pointing Away from You This indicates that the machine table is positioned incorrectly. Move the machine table until the set screws on both the X- and Y-axis motor coupler are pointing toward you.

WARNING! Crash Hazard: You must support the spindle head as described in this document before you make any mechanical or electrical adjustments to the spindle head. (For example, loosening the set screws on the Z-axis motor coupler.) If you make adjustments without first supporting the spindle head, it could result in the spindle head crashing on the machine table.

10. To prevent the spindle head from dropping onto the machine table, put a set of two-by-fours (or similar 3-in. block of wood) on the machine table so that it's:

    1. Below the spindle flange

    2. Clear of the (optional) coolant nozzles

11. Slowly jog the Z-axis down (-Z) until the spindle flange is on the set of two-by-fours.

NOTICE! Don’t put the spindle nose on the set of two-by-fours. If you do, it could add unnecessary force to the spindle bearings, and damage the machine components.

12. Identify the Z-axis motor mount cover plate below the Z-axis motor on the machine column.

13. Remove the motor cover from the machine column with a 3 mm hex wrench. Set aside the screws and the motor cover.

14. Identify the four set screws on the Z-axis motor coupler inside the Z-axis motor mount, and examine the direction to which they point. To easily access the set screws, they must point toward the left side of the machine once the Z-axis is lowered.

15. Depending on the direction in which the set screws are pointing, do one of the following:

    1. Set Screws Pointing Left Go to Step 16.

    2. Set Screws Not Pointing Left This indicates that the set of two-by-fours is too short for your machine. Repeat Steps 10 through 15 with a different block of wood.

WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard: You must power off the machine before making any electrical connections. If you don't, there's a risk of electrocution or shock.

Apply the 1100M+ Decals

We recommend using a wet application procedure to put the decals on your machine. It's easier to do (you can adjust as you work) and it creates a more professional appearance (you can easily push out air bubbles) – but it takes time to dry. Wait to use the machine until the decals dry completely so that you don't risk swarf (or other debris) moving the decals out of position.

To apply the 1100M+ decals:

1. Remove the original 1100M decals on your machine. There's one on the front of the electrical cabinet, and one on the front left panel of the enclosure.

2. Find the enclosure and electrical cabinet decals provided with this kit.

3. Clean the surface of the removed decals with a mild degreaser (like Simple Green®). Then, let the surface dry.

4. Identify the location for the new electrical cabinet decal: measure 7 in. from the bottom of the electrical cabinet, and make a mark. This indicates the correct location for the bottom of the new electrical cabinet decal. Repeat this step several times to help you align the new decal.

5. Identify the location for the new enclosure decal: measure 5.79 in. from both sides of the electrical cabinet, and make a mark on either side. This indicates the correct location for the sides of the new enclosure decal. Repeat this step several times to help you align the new decal.

6. Spray the application area with an ammonia-free window cleaner (or similar). The amount of window cleaner that you use determines how much flexibility you'll have to position the decal. If you use more window cleaner, it'll take longer to dry.

NOTE: You must use ammonia-free window cleaner to prevent air bubbles from forming.

7. Remove the protective backing from the decal.

8. Position the decals on the marks that you made in Step 4 and Step 5.

9. Push out all the air bubbles with a plastic squeegee (or similar).

10. Carefully wipe the excess window cleaner off of the decal.

11. Allow up to a day for the decal to dry completely.

NOTE: Wait to use the machine until the decals dry completely so that you don't risk swarf (or other debris) moving the decals out of position.

12. Carefully remove the transfer paper from the decal.
