First of all: congratulations on your purchase of one of the best machines on the market today. Most of our advice is just common sense. The Badog series of machines are working equipment with often dangerous tools that spin at enormous speeds therefore the utmost precaution is to be followed when the machine is live. Before starting your machine for the first time and each time you use it, make sure that the following rules are respected! 1. Never unplug and plug in the machine while the switches are in the on position. This could cause a circuit failure or a loss of position. 2. Never touch a rotating or moving part and if the machine is working the safety shield must be in place before operation. Stand at least 1 meter away from the machine while it operates and avoid all launched projectiles as a result of milling. Badog CAD configuration of Ports

Do not force the machine in anyway and leave the adjustment to a professional at Badog CNC Boyko. If it is a warranty item, do not try to fix it yourself because it could void the warranty.
