11) EXTENSION CABLE SELECTION
The machines are factory fitted with a 3 metre length of cable having three conductors 1.5mm²
LIVE, NEUTRAL and EARTH. If it becomes necessary to fit an extension cable from the power
source, care must be taken in using a cable of adequate capacity. Failure to do so will result in a
loss of traction by the magnet and a reduction of power from the motor.
Assuming a normal AC supply of the correct voltage, it is recommended that the following
extension lengths shall not be exceeded:
For 110v supply:
3.5metres of 3 core x 1.5mm²
For 230v supply:
26metres of 3 core x 1.5mm²
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE CHANGING CUTTERS.
12) MOUNTING OF CUTTERS
The machine has been made to accept cutters having 19.05mm (3/4”) dia. Weldon shanks.
The following procedure is to be used when mounting cutters:
With the machine in the upright position, ensure the Arbor Assembly (CA120) is fully
inserted into Arbor Spindle (RDC4009).
Take appropriate pilot and place through the hole in cutter shank. Insert shank of cutter
into bore of Arbor Assembly, ensuring alignment of two drive flats with socket screws.
Tighten both screws using hexagon key.
13) CAPSTAN OPERATION
The quick release capstan is a feature that offers the user simple dual side operation.
To remove the capstan, simply do the following;
1: Press in the central button on the capstan hub, holding onto the capstan arms.
2: With the button pressed in, pull the capstan away from the main body, holding on to the
capstan arms.
3: Re-insert the hexagonal shaft into the hexagonal slot to attach the capstan.
