Hi All,

I have just completed my build of an 840. I have a 'left over cable and plug. Please see the attached. Can anyone tell me what this is for. Am I being 'thick' and missed a build step?

I cant find this in the build guide

Please let me know

Cheers

Rich

It's a grounding cable. It is needed because sometime due to the rotating spindle static electricity will disturb the machine control board. You will find a installation manaul in the Service / Support / Manuals section of the Stepcraft webpage. The manual is different in the German and English section. Hava a look at the English manual in this screenshot:

Here it is a USB cable but mine is also a 230V plug.

Viele Grüße
