ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRESPONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED 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.

Note: Voltage requirements and amperage draw for M2 3-phase motor may not be fully described in this manual. For complete electrical requirements refer to the motor I.D. name plate on the machine. If in doubt consult a licensed qualiﬁed electrician before proceeding.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Both a manual circuit breaker (or similar device) as well as an electrical plug (similar to the one shown) are recommended and SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Use locally approved wire A that includes a separate grounding wire and a 3 prong grounding type plug B with a matching receptacle C.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock to the operator. The motor of the ”M1” model of this machine is wired for 220 V single phase operation. As with many stationary industrial type machines, because each installation situation is unique, this machine is supplied without a power cord or plug. The installation of an appropriate power cord and plug must be performed by a qualiﬁed electrician. The machine must be connected to an electrical source using a power cord that has a grounding wire, which must also be properly connected to the grounding prong on the plug. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded and all electrical connections must be made in accordance with all local codes and regulations.

CIRCUIT CAPACITY

Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage draw from your machine, as well as any other machines that could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualiﬁed electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualiﬁed technician or our service department.

EXTENSION CORDS

The use of an extension cord is not generally recommended for 220 V equipment. If you ﬁnd it necessary, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a damaged extension cord or plug immediately. Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the correct size extension cord to be used based on cord length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.

then lock the cutter head at the end of the arm by retightening the lever A. Remove the arm cover B using a 5 mm Allen key.

2. Loosen bolt B with a 19 mm wrench and loosen jam

nut C with an 10 mm wrench.

3. Turn the bolt F in the required direction until the 2

bearing E are leaning against the rails D. Re-install the arm cover before unlocking the cutter head to make a test by moving the cutter.

Note: Adjust only enough to eliminate play – do not over tighten as this can stiffen or restrict head travel, requiring more effort to move it and cause premature wear of the rails.

ADJUSTING THE BASE

The base bas been adjusted at the factory, therefore, except in some rare cases (important maintenance, improper handling or rough transport) no further adjustments are required. If the clamp tension of the base makes the cutter height adjustment harder or if you notice some play between the column and base, proceed as follows:

4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 with the other bearing assembly located in the back of the cutter head.

1. Unlock the column by loosening the lever A.

2. Loosen the jam nuts B using a 12 mm wrench, then loosen without removing the 2 set screws C.

done.

ADJUSTING THE CUTTER HEAD ARM

If you notice play between the arm and column, proceed as follows:

5. Loosen the 2 bolts C using a 13 mm wrench to re-

duce clamping tension on the column for smoother cutter head height adjustments

Note: Tighten bolts only enough to eliminate play. Over tightening can stiffen head travel.

7. Loosen the 2 bolts C using a 13 mm wrench to re-

duce clamping tension on the column for smoother cutter head height adjustments.

Note: Tighten bolts only enough to eliminate play. Over tightening can stiffen head travel.

1. Loosen the 2 jam nuts A using a 14 mm wrench. 2. Unlock the arm by loosening the lever B.

3. Retighten the nuts C using a 17 mm wrench to

eliminate the play between the arm and column.
