Chip Collector
This machine is fitted with a chip collector to capture metal
chips. The chip collector cover plate is provided with a
transparent ‘window’ so that the operator can see the contents
and empty when necessary.
WARNING:
The chip collector is very efficient and must
be checked and emptied at regular intervals.
When cutting steel the chip collector can become hot. care
must be taken when handling the chip collector
To remove and empty the Chip Collector:
• Loosen the two Chip Collector thumb screws.
(Fig. 10)
• Ease the Chip Collector from the machine.
• Empty the contents of the chip collector by tipping the
collector upside down over a suitable waste container,
allowing the contents to fall out.
Note:
To maintain operational efficiency we recommend
that the collector is emptied when approximately 60%
full. Dispose of the contents of the chip collector in an
environmentally responsible manner.
• Replace the Chip Collector and securely tighten the two (2)
thumb screws.
Discharge Port
When cutting lumber the Discharge Port Exhaust should be fitted
to the Discharge Port on the chip collector.
To fit the Discharge Port Exhaust:
• Remove the Discharge Port blanking cover by unscrewing the
cross headed screw.
• Pull the blanking cover from the Discharge Port and store
safely for future use.
• Fit the Discharge Port Exhaust in place of the blanking cover.
(Fig.11)
Wood chips will be ejected from the Discharge Port Exhaust
during lumber cutting operations.
• When cutting has been completed, remove the Exhaust Port and
replace the blanking cover and tighten the fixing screw securely.
