FORWARD
This is the normal position when carding. The safety cover must be in place before the motors will operate.
UNWIND
When you have filled the large drum evenly with fibre and are ready to remove the batt from the large drum, stop
and select UNWIND. Always lift the packer brush away from the large drum. For your safety, the EDC30 operates at
approx. 10% of the selected SPEED in this mode. Both drums rotate at the same peripheral speed to allow smooth
removal of the batt. The RUN-INCH button or FOOT SWITCH must be held in to operate the motors in this mode. If the
RUN-INCH or FOOT SWITCH is not held in, you can turn the large drum by hand in either direction. The small drum
will also turn at the same peripheral speed in the opposite direction. The small drum cannot be turned by hand; it is
locked to the large drum electronically. Use this mode when cleaning the drums. IMMEDIATELY select the FORWARD
mode once you have removed the batt.
COAST
• The power is OFF to the motors. This mode allows both drums to be turned by hand.
• The RUN-INCH button or the FOOT SWITCH will not activate the motors.
FORWARD BLENDING
WARNING: This mode allows you to operate the EDC30 without the safety cover in place.
For your safety, the carder will only operate at 50% of its maximum speed and will not operate with the safety cover
in place. Only use this mode when adding small amounts of specialty fibres to the main drum. The RUN-INCH button
or FOOT SWITCH must be held in to operate the motors in this mode. IMMEDIATELY select the FORWARD mode once
you have finished blending.
FOOT SWITCH
For the convenience of using both hands to prepare and feed your fibre, use the
FOOT SWITCH to START and STOP your EDC30. Insert the foot switch plug into the
FOOT SWITCH socket.
POWER PACK
Your EDC30 is supplied with a 24Vd.c. 5A POWER PACK with a 5.5mm x 2.5mm
positive centre plug MODEL: BX-24005000. It accepts 100–240 volts. Only use the
supplied power pack and wall plug.
Turn the power OFF at the wall before plugging in or removing the cord from the
EDC30
DRUM COVER
This acrylic cover is designed to keep you safe. It is fitted with a magnet to activate
the MAGNETIC SAFETY SWITCH embedded in the feed in tray. Always position the
EDC30 on table/bench so the DRUM COVER rests on the table when open.
BELT COVER
This acrylic cover is designed to keep you safe. Do not operate the EDC30 unless the belt cover is fitted.
MOTORS
The motors are sealed for life brushless motors and are rated at 24v x 50w and 24v x 90w. They are fitted with a
planetary gearbox to achieve the slow speed required for controlled carding.
TOOL STORAGE
The handy tool holder mounted to the side of the carder allows convenient storage of the push stick, doffer, cleaning
brush, hex wrench and spanner.
SAFETY
The ON/OFF switch, RUN-INCH button, FOOT SWITCH and MAGNETIC SAFETY SWITCH on the acrylic cover can all be
used to STOP the EDC30.
IMPORTANT
Avoid tripping over or yanking on the foot switch or power pack cords as this can damage or break the plugs or
sockets and void your warranty. Always remove both cords when transporting or storing your EDC30.
