ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTSBEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRE-SPONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THANNEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUAL-IFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with yourmachine, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plug and a matching 3-pole recepta-cle that accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace adamaged extension cord or plug immediately.
Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperagelisted on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord willcause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of powerand overheating. In some cases this may cause themachine to stop its cutting operation and an error mes-sage will appear on your controller.
The accompanying chart shows the correct size exten-sion cord to be used based on cord length and motorI.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heaviergauge. The smaller the number, the heavier the gauge.

In the event of an electrical malfunction or short cir-cuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. Themotor of this machine is wired for 110V single phaseoperation and is equipped with a 3-conductor cordand a 3-prong grounding plug A to fit a groundedtype receptacle B. Do not remove the 3rd prong(grounding pin) to make it fit into an old 2-hole wallsocket or extension cord. If an adaptor plug is used C,it must be attached to the metal screw of the recepta-cle.
Note: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in someareas. Check your local codes. If you have any doubtsor if the supplied plug does not correspond to yourelectrical outlet, consult a qualified electrician beforeproceeding.
CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable ofhandling the amperage draw from your machine, aswell as any other machines that could be operatingon the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a quali-fied electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuseblows regularly, your machine may be operating on acircuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity.However, if an unusual amperage draw does not existand a power failure still occurs, contact a qualifiedtechnician or our service department.

1. Download i-Picture Software from thesupplied USB flash drive to your com-puter.
2. Double-click on the installer icon torun the self-installing program.
i-Picture SOFTWAREThis i-Carver is supplied with i-Picture software. i-Picture converts images file to “GEE code”. GEE code is the program-ming language that your i-Carver will read and execute.
Note: i-Picture is compatible with Windows 98/me/2000/XP/Vista/7. It is not compatible with Mac OS X and Linux Ope-rating Systems.
12
FORMATTING YOUR IMAGE FILES FOR i-Picture SOFTWAREi-Picture is a converter software only. An image editing program such as Adobe Photoshop or MS Paint may berequired to convert your images to the required format type, color mode, and edit or modify an image, or tocreate a new image.
Format type:The format types accepted by i-Picture are : .gif, .png, .jpg, and .bmp. If needed, use an image editor to con-vert your image file to one of the formats listed above.
Color Mode:i-Picture software is able to convert RGB images. However, when carving RGB image files, the result of your work-piece will not be clearly defined. The images have to be modified for grayscale* or black and white, using anediting image software.* Choose grayscale over black and white whenever possible to avoid large discrepancies between white and blackareas.
Images downloaded from the Internet:Look for images that have higher resolution (300 x 300 dpi or higher) and significant contrast. Try to avoidimages that have too much fine detail.
Scanned Images:- Scan your image in high resolution, in grayscale or black and white.- Delete the background using an image editing software.
Photos from your Digital Camera:- Adjust the light and avoid shadow while taking picture.- Do not take a picture with your camera parallel to the object. A picture shows more dimensions with anangle shot.
- Set your camera to the black and white mode to avoid the need for conversion in an image editing softwareafter.
CONVERTING A FILE TO GEE CODE
1. Double-click on the i-Picture softwareicon on your desktop to launch thesoftware.

To inspect your work to ensure correct size:
SPEED SELECTION
Selecting the appropriate feed rate is dependant on a variety of factors: type and density of the material to bemachined, depth of cut per pass, type of bit or cutting tool being used, required finish quality, as well as theamount of fine detail in the image being machined. There are no hard and fast rules. Be patient: practice andexperience will be your best teacher.
There are however some general guidelines to consider and the following information will help you in selectingthe correct feed rate:
Low Speed - For projects where material density is extremely high. This setting is not commonly used.
Normal Speed - Best speed for raster based programs created from iPicture when using dense woods, orwhere machining depths exceed 1/4" per pass
High Speed - For raster based programs in less dense woods with machining depths of 1/4" or less per pass.
For further assistance with issues regarding feed rate selection, consult the trouble shooting guide available onthe General CNC website at www.generalcnc.ca
21
Note: Refer to the section below for helpful hints onspeed selection.
2. Select the carving speed (LOW, NORMAL or HIGH)then press on [ENTER]. The i-Carver will start carv-ing your artwork.
PAUSE FUNCTION
When the i-Carver is carving your artwork, the percent-age (%) of work in progress is displayed on the LCDscreen, A.
The pause function, B, allows the operator to pause to:
• Clear dust from the workpiece• Examine the work performed to that point• Change the bit
and then resume the program when needed.
1. Press [ENTER] to pause the program.
2. After the cleaning/examination/tool change is doneand you are ready to continue, press on [ENTER] onceto resume carving.

When the pause function is activated:
• The program stops running• The main spindle raises• The spindle stops
Formatting your image file in an image editing software (p.12):
1. Open your image in an editing program such asAdobe Photoshop or MS Paint and flip the imageas shown above.
For carving on material other than wood such as ACRYLIC, the instructions are the same as for NORMAL CONVEX CARV-ING ON WOOD (page 13 to 22), except for the steps below:
Setting your image file parameters in i-Picture (p.13):
2. In i-Picture settings, check box invert light/darkareas to invert the concave and convex areas ofthe carving.
Preparing and securing your workpiece (p.18):
1. Put at least four strips of double sided tape on theback of you acrylic board A.
Note: The number of strips you should be using depends onthe size of your workpiece. In this exemple, the workpiece sizeis A3 (297 x 420 mm - 11.69” x 16.54”).
2. Prepare a wood board, larger than your acrylicboard and planed on both sides.
3. Remove the protective strip from the tape and ad-here the acrylic board to the wood board.
Positioning the spindle over the point of origin (p.20)
4. When positioning the spindle over the chosen point of origin, it is important to slightly penetrate the cutter intothe acrylic board B so your intended carving will cover your board in case your board is not perfectly flat.
