GENERAL INFORMATION
Limited Warranty
Noise Emission
For your Safety
Router Specifications
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation and use of your router. Use it with
caution and at your own risk. Ignoring safety precautions may result in physical injury. When in doubt regarding its
installation and operation, do NOT use the equipment until you have consulted a CNC Factory technician.
Read the following carefully and fully before operating the router:
CNC Factory provides lifetime router support and warrants that it will be free of defects in workmanship
and materials for a period of 18 months beginning on the date of delivery. This warranty does not include
(wearable) parts consumed during normal operation or maintenance required in the ordinary course of
operation. For full warranty details, refer to the General Terms and Conditions for the Sale of Products and
Services signed during the purchase of this router.
This router is noise-emitting. However, the operator’s exact exposure to noise cannot be determined precisely
to set supplementary precautions, as it is affected by different factors, such as: duration of exposure, noise
from adjacent machines and other sources, characteristics of the work environment, etc. Noise emission
standards also vary country to country and we recommend consulting your local regulations. Wearing a
hearing protection device is highly recommended when operating this machine.
This guide is for the general operation of the Python XPR CNC Router. Since most routers are made-to-order, the
exact specifications of your router is found in your purchase order and its requirements in your pre-install guide.
1. Keep the work area clean and ensure adequate lighting is available.
2. Do NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, necklaces, or ornaments that may be caught in the router.
3. Do wear face masks, safety goggles, ear muffs, and other body protection applicable for the operation or
environment.
4. Make sure the emergency stop ‘E-stop’ button is pressed when entering the router work area.
5. Ensure that the power is disconnected from the router before servicing.
6. Never leave the router running without supervision.
7. Do not use dull, deformed, or broken cutting tools.
8. Ensure that keys, adjusting wrenches, and all loose items have been removed from the router and stored in
a safe place.
9. Make sure all the nuts and bolts are secured in place.

General Warnings
Contacting Support
The program does NOT have an Undo button/option. If you configure and save the wrong
values by mistake, your only option to revert to the original is to type back the original
values and save again. If you do not remember the original values or are in doubt, please
contact your CNC Factory technician for help reverting to the original settings. Using
incorrect values may cause damage to your router or make it fail.
Critical interfaces that may cause irreparable damage to your router are usually
password-protected. This password is available upon request from your CNC Factory
technician. There will be advanced segments of the program that you will not need for
your day-to-day operations and are reserved for technicians’ use only, and they will be
identified as such. Please avoid tinkering with advanced features, which may or may not
be password-protected.
Improper operations that may cause the router to fail, damage it, or cause bodily
injury to the operator are prefaced with this warning sign.
Your lifetime technical support can be accessed by calling 714-581-5999* or online via:
We will try to resolve your issue as quickly as possible via phone call or remote access. Should those not
suffice, you may contact us at 714-581-5999 to talk about an on-site visit by a technician. Separate charges

The Emergency Stop or E-stop
The E-stop is a safety feature that stops all operations of the router. You have three (3) emergency stop buttons
that are easily accessible while the router is operating:
To initiate an emergency stop, press the red button. Once pressed, the controller & router safety lights will turn red
to alert you that your router is stopped.
Pressing the E-stop sends an electrical pulse to the entire router that shuts all operations down
instantly— we recommend using it sparingly for emergencies and should not be utilized to
pause or as a regular stop button, as frequent use may damage your motors.
On the controller
To turn the router back on from an E-stop, turn the E-stop
button clockwise, in the same direction as the arrows
shown. The red safety lights will then turn to white.
For those on the gantry, a green ring appears when the
E-stop is disengaged. When pressed and engaged, the
green ring will disappear.

Lubrication
Daily Checks
Maintenance
Our routers come with a fully automated, pressurized lubrication
system for all the liner guides and ball screws. For best results,
use 000 Semi-Fluid Lithium Grease.
All helical racks & drill blocks require manual lubrication with
Klüber Isoflex Topas L32N Special low-temperature grease. As
a rule of thumb, apply 5cc of lubrication after every 40 hours of
operation.
1. Clean the router, wipe off any excess oil, and buff with a dry polishing cloth. This will reduce the chance for
dust build up.
2. Check all liner guides and ball screws. Make sure there is a thin layer of oil on it.
3. Check cutter teeth for chips and dullness.
When lubricating, jog the machine all the way up to
the area without the spoilboard, to avoid damaging it
in case of leaks or drips. Oil on the spoilboard can clog
it and affect material work holding.

4. Collets and spindle collet holes must be cleaned
regularly. Ensure that the slots in the collets are free
of sawdust, as it can build up and prevent the collet
from compressing. If the collet or spindle holes
are clogged, the router bit may vibrate or get loose
while cutting. Serious spindle damage or bodily
injury may occur.
5. Check the AC unit drain, make sure it is not twisted
or leaking into the control cabinet under the router
bed.

Weekly Checks
Quarterly Checks
Annual Checks
1. Clean grease and dirt off the helical racks. Apply gear
grease on all helical racks.
2. Check the dust collection pipe and brush hood. Clean off
all debris and dust build up.
3. Generally inspect the router for any damage or loose/
worn parts.
4. Empty oil tray under the liner carts.
Conduct a drill block grease check.
Schedule an on-site service with a CNC Factory technician.
Connectivity
The Python has USB, WiFi and ethernet connections. It only requires the internet for virtual/remote access.
Configurations for your router’s connectivity will already be set-up by your technician during installation.
