PRO-CUT 80

PROCEDURE

1.  Remove input power to the PRO-CUT 80

machine.

2.  Remove the wraparound cover and perform

the 

Input Filter Discharge Procedure

detailed earlier in this section.

3.  Using the 5/16” nut driver, remove the four

screws holding the front assembly to the top
and base of the machine.  See Figure F.16.

4.  Carefully slide (do not force) the front away

from the rest of the machine about one inch.
This will allow more “working” room to
remove the control board.
