ZIPPER II INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Circuit breaker
• This machine is fitted with a built-in circuit breaker to protect it from
damage in the case of electrical overload.
• When tripped, a small dowel will be ejected and will protrude from the
rear of the machine. To reset the circuit breaker, push the dowel back
into the machine until it locks into place.
• The circuit breaker may be caused to trip by excessive heat in
the working environment, by extreme tension set by the tension
adjustment nut (see section "Tension adjustment before shearing"),
by an incorrectly set up comb and cutter (see section "Fitting the comb
and cutter"), or by an obstruction of the cutter. If the circuit breaker
trips without any of the above causes, the machine should be referred
to a qualified service person.
• This circuit breaker does not take the place of, nor reduce the need
for, an external socket-mounted RCD circuit breaker, which should
always be used with any shearing machine.
