Dear Woodworker,
Thank you for your purchase and welcome to the Laguna Tools group of discerning woodworkers. I understand that you have a choice of where to purchase your machines and appreciate the confidence you have shown in our products.
Every machine sold by Laguna Tools has been carefully designed and well thought through from a woodworker’s perspective. I cut on our bandsaws, lathes, table saws, combination machines and CNC Routers. Through my hands-on experience, I work hard to make our machines better. I strive to give you machines that inspire you to create works of art; machines that are a joy to run and work on; machines that encourage your performance.
Today, we offer high-performance machines with innovative solutions that meet the needs of woodworkers and their ever-evolving craft.
I started Laguna Tools as a woodworker; I still am one.
Thank you again for becoming a Laguna Tools customer.
Torben Helshoj
President and Founder - Laguna Tools

Safety Rules
As with all machinery there are certain hazards involved with the operation and use of your machine. Using it with caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result. If you have any questions relating to the installation and operation, do not use the equipment until you have contacted your supplying distributor.
Read the following carefully and fully before operating the machine.
1.Keep the working area clean and ensure adequate lighting is available.
2.Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, necklaces or ornaments.
3.Do wear face, eye, respiratory and body protection devices as indicated for the operation or environment.
4.Ensure that the power is disconnected from the machine before tools are serviced or any attachment is to be fitted or removed.
5.Never leave the machine with the power on.
6.Do not use dull, gummy or cracked cutting tools.
7.Ensure that the keys and adjusting wrenches have been removed and all the nuts and bolts are secured.

Noise emission.
Notes concerning noise emission:
Given that there exists a relationship between noise level and exposure times, it is not precise enough to determine the need for supplementary precautions. The factors affecting the true level of exposure to operators are clearly the amount of time exposed; the characteristics of working environment; other sources of dust and noise, etc. For example, adjacent machines may impact the level of ambient noise. It is also possible that exposure level limits will vary from country to country.

Receiving your machine.
Note: It is probable that your machine will be delivered by a third party. Before you unpack your new machine, you will first need to inspect the packing, invoice, and shipping documents supplied by the driver.
Ensure that there is no visible damage to the packing, or the machine. You must do this prior to the driver leaving. All damage must be noted on the delivery documents and signed by you and the delivery driver. You must then contact the seller, [Laguna Tools] within 24 hours.
Note: Laguna Tools, Inc. endeavors to test each machine prior to shipping and you may find sawdust in or on your machine.

Glossary of terms.
Ball End Milling Cutter - A milling cutter that has a rounded cutting diameter at its end that is equal to the cutting diameter.
DXF file - Drawing exchange Format file that was created as a standard to freely exchange 2 and 3 dimensional drawings between different CAD programs. It basically represents a shape as a wire frame mesh of x, y, z coordinates (vectors).
Encoder - Typically an optical device that consists of a disk with 100 to1000 holes on its periphery. The most common is the incremental encoder that has a small LED light source on one side of the disk with a diode detector on the other to allow the disk rotation to be monitored in discrete incremental steps. Hence, a full revolution can be broken up into 100's or even 1000's of position steps.
G-Code - The standard machine tool language around the world. It generally consists of specifying the x, y, z (and a, b or c) coordinates that the machine is to move to. Such movement can be linear, circular or even special drilling operations. It is the universal language of all modern machine tools (mills, lathes, edm machines etc.).
M-code - The standard machine tool codes that are normally used to switch on the spindle, coolant or auxiliary devices. They can also be used for G-code program control such as repeating the program or ending it.
Servo Motor - A motor that is typically a brush or brushless DC type with an optical encoder attached to it. It is used in what is called a Servo Loop system where positioning information is constantly tracked by minimizing the error between the commanded and real position.
Step Motor - A motor that derives its motion by receiving input signals (pulses) in a very specific sequence. The most common type is one that rotates 1.8 degrees for each input pulse. This provides a very simple way of controlling motion very precisely with the use of common digital logic circuitry.
STL file - Stereo Lithography file format that has traditionally been associated with Stereo Lithography prototyping machines, but is now also being used to represent 3D surfaces for CNC tool path generating programs.
Tool Path - A series of vector coordinate positions that define a cutting path. This cutting path can be a simple 2D or sophisticated 3D (even 4D or more) path used to machine out the shape of a desired part.
Vector - A line that has both length and direction. It is usually specified by a starting x, y, z coordinate position and ending x, y, z coordinate position.
DRO – Digital Read Outs, shows the axis positions in the interface.
7
MDI – Manual Data Entry, used for entering commands manually, line by line.
CAD – Computer Aided Design, the using of computers to assist and develop design.
CAM – Computer Aided Manufacturing, the use of computers to assist in manufacturing.
CNC – Computer Numerical Control.
Command – A signal or series of signals that initiates one step or series of steps in the execution of a program.
Feed Rate – F A multi character code containing the letter F followed by digits that determine the machines rate of movement.
H.M.I - Human Machine Interface.
O.I.T – Operator Interface Terminal.

Introduction to IQ machines.
The IQ is designed to give you years of safe service. Read this owner’s manual in its entirety before assembly or use.
The advantage of the IQ machine is that it can, in most cases, fully machine the complete job without it being removed from the table so that you have finished parts of high accuracy that are totally repeatable.
It can, with the purchase of the relevant software, also produce intricate carvings.
Nesting is also a valuable feature of IQ machining that saves on waste and cost.
It is possible to reduce the amount of different machines in the shop as the IQ will perform multiple functions and is a must for serious wood workers.
Parts of the IQ machine. 1. Bed.
The bed of the machine consists of a heavy steel frame and a “T-Slot” Table. The “T” slots are used to clamp the job or fixtures to the bed. The bed is covered in plastic strips.
2. Gantry.
The gantry straddles the bed and carries the router spindle motion system. It is moved along the length of the bed by linear rails controlled by the machine controller.
3. Router Spindle.
The router spindle is moved along the gantry by a precision ball screw system that is controlled by the machine controller.
4. Frame.
The frame is a heavy Steel tubular construction that supports all the other parts of the machine.
