general safety information (continUeD)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is tipped
or if grinding wheel is unintentionally contacted.
Know your tool. Learn the tool’s operation, application and
specific limitations.
Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from possible
injury.
Think safety! Safety is a combination of
operator common sense and alertness at all
times when tool is being used.
assemBly
Refer to Figures 1 and 10.
Do not attempt assembly if parts are missing.
Use this manual to order replacement parts.
Blade shear must be assembled and mounted to cabinet. Thread
shear handle and knob (Ref. Nos. 22 and 21) into blade cam (Ref.
No. 23).
Mount blade alignment brackets (Ref. Nos. 8 and 25) to shear using
two screws, washers and nuts (Ref. Nos. 6, 7 and 11).
Tilt blade alignment brackets down so that alignment surfaces line
up with each other and are vertical and perpendicular (See Figure
1). Tighten screws.
Mount shear assembly to side of cabinet using two bolts and lock
washers (Ref. Nos. 10 and 11).
Remove the protective paper from spark deflector (Ref. No. 29).
installation
Refer to Figures 2-5.
All electrical connections must be performed
by a qualified electrician.
Make sure unit is off and disconnected from
power source before mounting, connecting,
reconnecting, removing cover, or anytime wiring is inspected.
power source
The welder is designed for operation on the voltage and frequency
specified. Normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not
more than 10% above or below the specified voltage.
Running the unit on voltages which are not within the range may
cause overheating and transformer burn-out. Heavy loads require
that the voltage at welder terminals be no less than the voltage
specified.
grounding instructions
Improper connection of equipment grounding
conductor can result in the risk of electrical
shock. Equipment should be grounded while in use to protect
operator from electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are not
understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
This tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord rated at
300V and a 3-prong grounding type plug (See Figure 3) for your
protection against shock hazards.
Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly
installed and grounded 3- prong grounding-type receptacle, as
shown in Figure 3.
