Foot switch
When the operator is correctly positioned in front of a machine equipped with a foot switch, the foot should
rest comfortably on the switch. The foot switch should be movable, so that its location can be readily
changed when the operator shifts position to minimize fatigue. Placing the switch on a rubber mat keeps it
movable while preventing unintentional sliding.
The preferred foot switch location varies to some extent among operators. Some operators prefer to
locate the switch so that their foot rests on the switch when their feet are in the natural sitting position (calf
of leg perpendicular to the foot). Others prefer the leg to be slightly in front of the natural position. The
important thing to remember is that the foot should be at approximately 90° (right angle) to the calf when
resting on the switch. Operators who prefer the foot switch slightly in front of the natural position Might
need to place a wedge-shaped block under it.

Electrical connection
DANGER
Electrical wiring to AC mains must be done by a qualified electrician. The electrical enclosure maintains high voltage for a
short period of time after power has been removed. Disconnect the power source and wait 5 minutes before opening the
electrical enclosure.
DANGER
Follow all appropriate electrical safety precautions and employ lockout/tagout techniques.
A customer-supplied power cable and plug must be connected to the machine. The cable must include three
2.08 mm
2
(14 AWG) phase wires and a ground wire. The machine does not require a neutral connection for
operation.
The terminator must be connected to the proper three-phase AC supply voltage, as indicated on the label
attached to the electrical enclosure door. The machine is factory-configured to operate on three-phase power
at 208 - 240 VAC or 380 - 420 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Do not connect the machine to any power source other
than the source configured for your machine
. Connect the power cable to the power disconnect switch
