A powerful vacuum pump allows for a lot of flexibility when it comes to positioning work. The vacuum will suck through the MDF wasteboard allowing clamp-free workholding in wide range of circumstances.

Safety

Hearing Protection
The vacuum pump is noisy. You must wear passive hearing protection when the vacuum pump is running to prevent irreversible damage to your hearing, even if the cutting process is quiet.

Turning on the vacuum pump

On the front of the machine (the side facing the exterior windows) there are four blue valves. Open the valves in accordance with the amount of the bed you are using and the diagram next to the ATC. At least two valves must be open at any one time - the two front, the two rear, or all four.

Turn on the rotary isolator marked VAC PUMP.

Press the green POWER ON button on the vacuum pump controller.
