4.0 Setting Up
The 8200 Planetary Mill weighs 250 lb (113 kg). The door rotates to open and close from left to right with the
handle atop the mill. The electrical input module/power cord receptacle is located on the rear of the Planetary
Mill cabinet towards the bottom (Figure 2). The power on/off button is on the rear next to the electrical inlet. The
manual door release latch is located on the top of the unit at the top right. The touch screen control panel is
affixed to the front side of the unit. Above the display of the control panel is an emergency stop button (in red)
and a USB port (black screw-off knob) to export run history or upgrade system software (Figure 1).
4.1 Electrical Connection
The on/off switch (controlling power to the motor and timer), is located at the back of the unit. To turn on the
power, press down-left the bar ( | ) side of the switch. Before plugging in the mill, set the power to off by pressing
down right the circle (O) side of the on/off switch, then plug the power cord into the mill’s power inlet. Plug the
mill into a standard 3-prong grounded electrical outlet; the AC input module and the on/off switch (which also
serves as a circuit breaker) are on the back of the cabinet.
4.2 Standard Safety Features
Clamp Locking Tab: The clamp is opened and closed by a knob on the end of
its threaded shaft. Whenever the clamp is closed on a jar, lock the clamp by first
tightening the locking tab clockwise against the clamp Y-bar (the locking tab is on
the shaft between the knob and the clamp Y-crossbar). When opening the clamp, first
loosen the locking tab.
4.3 CE Safety Features
CE directives require that electricity to the motor and timer be interrupted whenever the door is open, and that
the clamp must stop completely before the door can open.
Safety Interlock:
Cuts off power to the motor when the door is open. DO NOT disconnect or damage this switch.
