5. OPERATION OF THE EQUIPMENT
Proceed to install the machine at the worksite following the procedure in the operator’s
manual.
DO NOT REMOVE THE MACHINE SETTING PLATES UNTIL THE
FALL-STOP KIT HAS BEEN CORRECTLY SET.
Adjust the position of the Fall-Stop Kit bar and the machining arm so that they overhang
the work piece sufficiently to prevent the machine from falling into the internal opening
should the machine clamping system fail.
When correctly positioned securely tighten the machining arm and Fall-stop Kit clamping
screws.
The Fall-Stop Kit is now correctly set.
When the Fall-Stop Kit is not being used the M16 tapped holes in the turntable should be
plugged to prevent debris from entering the machine. Failure to do this may result in
damage to the internal components of the machine.
Use the fasteners with a thread length of no more than 25mm to plug the
M16 holes.
On completion of the work the Fall-Stop Kit must not be removed from the
machine turntable until the machine setting plates have been installed.
