3.0 Safety Guidelines

3.1 Warning Sign

3.2 Safety Precautions

This sign points to special safety features on the machine.

!

Careful attention to this instruction manual and the recommended safety guidelines is
essential for the safe operation of the MEGA-T300.

Proper operator training is required for the safe operation of the MEGA-T300. Any
unauthorized mechanical and electrical change, as well as improper operation, voids all
warranty claims. All service issues need to be reported to the manufacturer / supplier.

Before operating, cutting chamber hood must be closed. After cutting, the safety latch

!

will not open for approximately 5 seconds after pressing the stop (red) button.

Use only certified cut-off wheels from a professional supplier. Improper blades selection
voids warranty. (For appropriate blade selection, refer to the Abrasive Blade Selection

!

Guidelines Chart in Section 4.4)

Disconnect power before opening the main unit.

!

Replacement parts should be installed only by qualified personnel.

!

Securely clamp the part / sample to the working table. During cutting, consider that the
part may pinch and cause jamming of the cut-off wheel. Use the appropriate clamping

!

devices to avoid this occurrence.

Never start a cut under load.

!

Make sure that the cut-off blade is rotating down and into the sample.

!

3.3 Emergency Statement

The MEGA-T300 abrasive cutter has been designed for cutting metallographic specimens.
DO NOT CUT oversize samples. Always follow proper operational guidelines and avoid
contact with moving parts, lubricants and abrasives. Seek appropriate medical care for
cutting injuries.

Please read this instruction manual carefully and follow all installation, operating and safety guidelines.

4.5 Manual cutting (step-by-step procedure)

1. Connect electrical power and turn on master power switch on the side panel
before opening the hood.

2. Position fixtures and sample near to cut-off wheel.

3. Close hood.

4. Turn on coolant and cutter motor.

5. Hand feed the cutting wheel or table feed into the sample.

6. Turn off cutter and allow blade to completely stop before opening cover.

Note magnet safety switch has an approximately 5 second delay. Cutter
hood cannot be opened until safety switch is deactivated.

4.6 Fixturing sample

For proper clamping, use the appropriate clamping vises to securely hold the sample in
place. It is recommended that both sides of the part be clamped to avoid pinching of the
blade (possibly breaking the blade) and to minimize burning of the workpiece during
cutting.

For proper fixturing, take into account the initial stress on the samples.

5.0 Maintenance

5.1 Introduction

The MEGA-T300 requires very minimal maintenance. However, to increase the life of the
saw, it is suggested that the cutting chamber be rinsed after cutting.

It is also recommended that the hood be left open in order to minimize corrosion inside of the
chamber due to high humidity from the cutting operation and cutting fluid.

5.2 Cleaning outside cabinet

The cabinet and front shield should be cleaned occasionally with a moistened cloth. Do not
use any chemicals or cleaning abrasives. We recommend an anti-condensation gel be used
on the front panel.

Please read this instruction manual carefully and follow all installation, operating and safety guidelines.
