10) 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.
11) 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:
•
Lay the machine on its side with feed handles uppermost, ensuring arbor is wound down to its
lowest point to enable access to socket screws RD4066.
•
Take appropriate pilot and place through the hole in cutter shank. Insert shank of cutter into
bore of arbor, ensuring alignment of two drive flats with socket screws.
•
Tighten both screws using hexagon key.
12) CAPSTAN OPERATION
The quick release capstan is a feature offers 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.
