LIFTING (HOISTING)
The recommended method of lifting (hoisting) the Gullco KBM®-28U Inverted Portable Plate Edge
Bevelling machine is to use two (2) equal length slings of sufficient capacity (924 lbs [420 Kg]
minimum), fed through the machine as shown below. All lifting (hoisting) equipment must be
suitably rated and clearly identified to be of adequate capacity. Never raise the machine any higher
than necessary and never transport it over the top of people!
WARNING! Do not lift the machine by the
wheel adjusting handles, or any
other such component(s) that
could result in machine damage
and/or bodily injury due to
mechanical failure during the
lifting (hoisting) process.
Note: Undercarriage may not be as
shown, for illustrative purposes onl

INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING! As shown in the accompanying drawing, the cutter rotation MUST be clockwise (as
viewed from the front). IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS ROTATION DIRECTION BE
CORRECT OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE MAY OCCUR AND
WARRANTY WILL BE VOID. Be certain to check the cutter rotation before
operating the machine. The plate should be fed in the direction shown if the machine
is static and the material is being manually fed, alternatively, the bevelling machine
should travel in the direction shown if the plate is static and the machine is running
along the plate. If the cutter rotation is incorrect, it means that the 3 phase AC
connection is incorrect and two out of the three Live wires must be swapped.
