This procedure will show you how to install the Desktop Mill.

When unpacking bend the tab [1] so it is no longer bent back on itself and the crate can be disassembled as shown. 

NOTE: The tabs can be sharp so a screwdriver and plier are recommended for the unpacking.

Once the crate has been disassembled place the desktop mill on the desired surface by having two people lift up each end by using the handles.

Open the door and remove the M5 bolts [1] on the shipping bracket.

Loosen the M6 bolts [2] from the base of the bracket. There are nuts inside the slots, once the bolts are loosened slide the bracket out.  

Open the door and attach the door handle by screwing the #8 bolts into the handle as shown.

Once the desktop mill is completely assembled plug in the VGA cable to the port shown [1]  and connect both cables [2] and [3] to power.
