Warranty

Next Wave Automation warrants to the original retail purchaser of a CNC STONE SHARK machine and

purchased from an authorized CNC STONE SHARK machine distributor that the CNC STONE SHARK and

any CNC STONE SHARK accessories purchased with the CNC STONE SHARK machine will be free from

defects in material and workmanship for ONE YEAR from the date of purchase. This warranty is for parts

and labor to correct the defect and does not cover the cost of shipping any defective items to Next

Wave Automation for repair.

This warranty does not apply to defects arising from normal wear and tear, misuse, abuse, negligence,

accidents, unauthorized repair or alteration, or lack of maintenance. This warranty is void if the CNC

STONE SHARK machine or any portion of the CNC STONE SHARK machine is modified without the prior

written permission of Next Wave Automation, LLC, or if the CNC STONE SHARK machine is located or has

been used outside the country of residence of the authorized CNC STONE SHARK machine distributor

from whom the CNC STONE SHARK machine was purchased.

Please contact Next Wave Automation to take advantage of this warranty. If Next Wave Automation

determines the CNC STONE SHARK machine or CNC STONE SHARK accessory is defective in material or

workmanship, and not due to normal wear and tear, misuse, abuse, negligence, accidents, unauthorized

repair or alteration, or lack of maintenance, then Next Wave Automation will, at its expense and upon

proof of purchase, send replacement parts to the original retail purchaser necessary to remedy the

issue. Next Wave Automation will repair the CNC STONE SHARK machine or CNC STONE SHARK

accessory provided the necessary CNC STONE SHARK machine component is returned to Next Wave

Automation, shipping prepaid, with proof of purchase and within the warranty period.

Next Wave Automation disclaims any and all other express or implied warranties, including fitness for a

particular purpose. Next Wave Automation shall not be liable for death, injuries to persons or property,

or incidental, consequential, contingent or special damages arising from the use of the CNC STONE

SHARK machine.

Safety

The CNC STONE SHARK, is a computer-numerically controlled (CNC) routing system. As such, it is a

powerful system that can reduce your stone cutting risks by providing a method of cutting stone without

having to interact with the cutting tool(s) or material during the fabrication process. As with all power

tools, your care and attention are required to ensure that you use your CNC STONE SHARK safely. Next

Wave Automation assumes you will use your CNC STONE SHARK safely and follow accepted safety

precautions and practices for stone fabrication and machining.

Emergency Stop

There are two ways you can immediately stop your CNC STONE SHARK. CNC STONE SHARK users should

employ a surge suppress power strip with an on/off switch.

The first is the red STOP button on the CNC STONE SHARK Pendant screen when the unit is running.

Pause and Stop on the CNC STONE SHARK

The second is either the on/off switch or the red Emergency Stop button on top of the CNC STONE

SHARK pendant.

Hitting either will immediately stop the CNC STONE SHARK movement and spindle operation.

Operations Safety Instructions

1. Read and follow all safety and operating instructions before using the CNC STONE SHARK. This

includes reading the manual for the spindle that will be mounted on your CNC STONE SHARK. Take

the time to orient yourself to the CNC STONE SHARK and the workflow steps.

2. Let the machine and spindle come to a complete stop before reaching near the cutting area. Make

sure that power is not applied to the spindle or the CNC STONE SHARK while positioning it on the

work piece or changing the bit.

3. Always be sure nothing is in the path of the cutter that might interfere with the movement of the

gantry.

4. Always wear eye and ear protection while operating your CNC STONE SHARK.

5. Keep miscellaneous equipment off the CNC STONE SHARK table and gantry. This includes areas

alongside the table where the gantry travels.

6. Never place your hands or fingers into the field of operation while the machine is running.

7. Position LCD Pendant by hanging it on to the front rail for easy access to the E-Stop button.

8. Never attempt to manually adjust the work piece while the CNC STONE SHARK and spindle are

running.

9. Keep the CNC STONE SHARK lubricated and clean. Clean the CNC STONE SHARK and area after each

use. The best lubrication for the CNC STONE SHARK is a dry Teflon, silicone spray applied to the

bearings and lead screws of each axis. Do not use WD40

CNC STONE SHARK Hardware and Project Safety Instructions

The CNC STONE SHARK has 4 stepper motors, a spindle motor, a Controller Interface Box, and an LCD

Color Pendant. These are all precision electronic devices and are susceptible to damage from power

surges, static discharges, inappropriate power supply, and other unexpected electrical events. It is

recommended that the Controller Interface be plugged into a surge protector to minimize the

opportunity for damage to occur as a result of a power surge. You may also want to use a dedicated

electrical circuit for the CNC STONE SHARK. Turning on another power tool on the same leg may cause a

momentary change in the power supplied to the CNC STONE SHARK and cause electrical interference

result in an erratic behavior. If you know that the power you receive fluctuates significantly, you may

also want to use a power conditioner and battery backup device. This will ensure the longest life of your

CNC STONE SHARK electronic components. A minimal battery backup will enable you to gracefully stop

the job in progress at the time of the power loss, thus minimizing the possibility of damage to the CNC

STONE SHARK, electronics and router.

It is also strongly recommended that you keep backup copies of all important computer data, files and

programs. These should be separate copies –stored on a different device than the computer you are

using to create the projects and run them on the CNC STONE SHARK.

Overview

General –The CNC STONE SHARK

Bringing the speed and precision of computer-numerically-controlled machinery to your shop, the CNC

STONE SHARK is designed for routing and cutting all types of stone material. The CNC STONE SHARK has

impressive power, speed, accuracy and ease of use. The CNC STONE SHARK has a quality design and its

parts have been manufactured using CNC machines to ensure the highest accuracy. The CNC STONE

SHARK is constructed of aluminum, for a robust, long lasting and close tolerance machine.

The CNC STONE SHARK comes complete with Ready2Design software, which will allow you to bring in

cut out designs from DXF, PDF, or JPG file formats.

CNC Stone Shark Controller and LCD Pendant

The CNC STONE SHARK LCD Pendant contains the E-Stop for powering on and off as well as stopping the

machine in an emergency. It also controls the movement of the X, Y, and Z axis as well as runs the

project’s tap file saved from the Ready2Design software when input via a flash drive.

The CNC STONE SHARK has a Controller Interface with the power supply integrated into a single unit.

CNC STONE SHARK Assembly Instructions

Unpack the CNC STONE SHARK machine and verify that all items are present and undamaged.

•CNC STONE SHARK Frame

•Pendant Cable

•LCD Touch Screen Pendant

•Transfer Cart (If purchased with machine)

•Stone Shark Incremental Diamond Cutters (If purchased with machine)

Applying power to the Controller Interface.

•Plug the CNC STONE SHARK Controller into a 20 amp / 120V AC wall outlet, power strip, or surge

protector.

•You will hear a slight bumping noise coming from each of the motors when power is initially

supplied. This noise is momentary and will occur every time power is applied to the Controller

Interface.

Attaching air to the machine for the vacuum rails.

•Once the machine is set upon a countertop you attach a standard quick connect air hose to the

fitting on the front right corner of the machine.

Supplying water to the machine.

•There is a ¾” garden hose connection to supply water to the machine. The water washes of all

the cuttings, cools the spindle motor, and cools the tool. (DO NOT OPERATE SPINDLE WITHOUT

WATER CONNECTED)

WARNING:The axis cable connectors should never be disconnected or re-connected while there is

power to the Controller Interface. Doing so can damage the stepper driver board inside the Controller

Interface.

The CNC STONE SHARK machine’s hardware is now completely setup and is ready for basic operation

testing. You must setup the CNC STONE SHARK software before you can completely test your CNC

STONE SHARK machine.
