Positioning and cleanup
Remove all crating from around the plate roller, and
use a forklift or hoist with straps to carefully move
the machine off the pallet and into position. Lifting
equipment must be properly rated for weight of
machine.
Position plate roller so there is enough room on all
sides for general maintenance and feeding of
materials. Anchor machine to a stable floor,
preferably concrete, using lag screws or other
appropriate fasteners through the four holes in
base. Level the machine; use shims if needed.
Exposed metal surfaces have been given a
protective coating. Remove this with a soft cloth and
a cleaner-degreaser. Do not use gasoline, paint
thinner or acetone, as these may damage painted
surfaces. Do not use an abrasive pad, as it may
scratch polished surfaces.

Electrical connections
Electrical connections must be
made by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all relevant codes. This machine must be
properly grounded to help prevent electrical
shock and possible fatal injury.
The EPR-1460 Plate Roller is pre-wired for 230-volt,
three-phase operation. It is not provided with a
power plug; you may either attach a proper 230V
UL-listed plug, or “hardwire” the machine directly to
a service panel (make sure a disconnect is available
to the operator).
If used with a plug:
Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on
a supply circuit having a nominal rating between
150-250 V inclusive:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Figure 8-
1. The tool is intended for use with a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 8-1. Make
sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adapter is
available or should be used with this tool. If the tool
must be reconnected for use on a different type of
electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by
qualified service personnel; and after reconnection,
the tool should comply with all local codes and
ordinances.
If hardwired:
Permanently connected tools: This tool should be
connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring
system; or to a system having an equipment-
grounding conductor.

Converting to 460V
The plate roller can be converted to 460 volt, as
follows:
1. Before connecting to power source, be sure
switch is in
off
position. Engage E-stop.
2. Connect the motor leads to the incoming power
source.
3. If using a plug, replace the 230V plug with a
proper 460V, UL-listed plug.
