# Steps 1-4

{% hint style="info" %}
It is recommended to assemble on OMIO Router Stand ([WCP-0342](https://wcproducts.com/products/omio-cnc-and-accessories)) or a sturdy work surface.

Box 1 Contents: Router Base, Stepper motors, Angle Extrusion

Box 2 Contents: X/Z axis Assembly, Spindle, Wire Harness, Control Box, Accessories
{% endhint %}

## Step 1

Place the X/Z-axis assembly on the supports for the X/Z-axis that are attached to the Y-axis. Be sure to have the Z-axis facing the front of the machine. Align the bolt holes and loosely thread in all three large SHCS with lock washers and bronze washers (circled in green below). Then repeat this for the smaller SHCS (circled in yellow below). This should be done on both sides of the machine.

{% hint style="info" %}
There are two different lengths of the smaller SHCS. The longer ones will be installed on the left side of the machine. These are used to mount the energy chain later.

## Step 2

Be sure that all holes line up before tightening. Tighten all bolts on both sides of machine.

{% hint style="info" %}
The bolts indicated in yellow in the previous step are also used to attach the mount to the energy chain. Leave left pair of these bolts loose as they will need to be removed in a future step.
{% endhint %}

## Step 3

Remove the two pre-installed bolts from the left side of the machine.&#x20;

Find the angle extrusion piece, energy chain support, with two pre-installed Phillips bolts. Attach this piece of angle extrusion to the frame of the machine using the two screws that were just removed. The holes in the extrusion should line up with the holes in the frame.

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Step 4

Remove the two pre-installed bolts from one side of the machine.&#x20;

Using the remaining angle extrusion pieces, attach one piece of angle extrusion to the frame of the machine with the vertical leg towards the outside of the machine using the two screws that were just removed. The holes in the extrusion should line up with the holes in the frame. Repeat this step on the other side of the machine as well.&#x20;

These extrusion pieces act as covers for the linear guides and to help catch any chips or dust from the machine.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.wcproducts.com/welcome/shop-accessories/omio-cnc-router-x8-usb/assembly-instructions/omio-router-assembly/steps-1-4.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
