Components and Assembly

Transport Wheels
The front wheel assembly 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 wheel 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 5). 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). 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 6” and 12” cutting head. Having additional cutting heads
will save time on the job. Insert blades into the extra cutting heads before starting a job.
When the blade is dull, take out the cutting head and replace it with another.
Shear Point
The shear point is the point where material to be removed will cut cleanly from the floor. If
the blade is too wide, too dull, or too steep the shear point is lost.
Inserting the Cutting Head
1. With machine off, insert desired cutting head into cutting head holder.
2. Secure with cutting head clip.
