JOBSITE MOVEMENT
Taping Wheels
Taping the wheels with a wide masking tape helps to prevent dirtying or damaging the
floors during move-in and move-out.
Transport Wheels
The front wheel assembly (Figure 5) is included and very helpful when moving a machine
around on a jobsite or loading a machine that is not on a pallet. It allows machine stability
and safe transportation over most surfaces. It is quick and easy to attach or detach.
1.
Raise slide plate so the bottom of the slide plate is higher or even with the bottom
of the guide channels, 6”-8” (15.25-20.3 cm) is ideal.
2.
Raise cylinder; insert front wheel assembly into cutting head.
3.
Secure with pin.
When finished, the caster wheels should swivel freely and the front wheel plate should be
parallel with the floor.
Moving Machine without Power (Pushing Machine)
Forward:
To move the machine forward, levers need to be pushed forward. To lock
levers in place, connect a bungee strap from each lever (pushing levers forward), pulling
straps down to and connecting to the front plate (Figure 6). Never leave machine unat-
tended with strap holding levers open.
Backward:
To move machine backward, levers need to be pulled backwards. To lock
levers in place, connect a bungee-strap from each lever (pushing levers backward), Pull-
ing straps to the back of the machine and connecting behind the seat or the rear of the
machine (Figure 6.1). Never leave machine unattended with strap holding levers open.
Moving Machine on Caster
Moving a weighted machine on only the front caster and not on the cutting head or the
front wheel assembly can make the machine sluggish. It may also turn hard to the right
or left.
CUTTING HEAD AND BLADES
Matching the correct cutting head, blade size, blade angle, and added weight to the ma-
chine is important. For every material being removed, there is an optimum blade width,
thickness, sharpness, angle, and bevel (up or down).
The machine is supplied with a 12” cutting head. Having additional cutting heads will
