Page 4 BB6100 Operating Manual
Keeping clean—Maintain your machine according to the procedures described in
this manual to maximize safety and machine longevity.
Keep clear—Keep clear of the machine during operation. Never lean or reach into
the machine to remove chips or to adjust the machine while it is running. Doing so
can cause serious injury or death.
Controls—Operator controls are located outside the danger zone of the machine.
All controls perform a one-to-one action. The machine is not supplied with a power
unit and, therefore, does not have an E-stop.
Machine setup and disassembly—With a modular design, the machine can be
broken down into components to ease setup.
Machine guards—There are no guards used on this machine.
Clamp Collars—To prevent the bar from sliding through the support bearings, or
falling, use P/N 25010 – The collars are used to secure the bar when the machine is
in the vertical orientation. Torque these collars to 25 ft-lbs (34 Nm). Clamp collars
should be positioned ABOVE at least 2 support bearings when installed in a vertical
orientation. Clamp collars should be shouldered against the bearing when in use.
Electrical emissions—There are no electrical components used on this machine.
Operator station—Due to the nature of portable machinery, no designated
operator’s station exists.
Moving parts—The operator is not exposed to the cutter head when the work piece
is being machined. Keep all cords and hoses away from moving parts during
operation. If the cords become tangled in the machinery the operator could be
seriously injured and the machine extensively damaged.
Fluids—Cutting fluids are required for machine operation. The machine itself does
not emit any fluids.
Lifting—When lifting the machine for setup or disassembly, a conventional sling-
type lift is suggested for convenience and safety of the operator. Use designated
lifting eyes. Do not lift the machine by the turning bar.
Repetitive motion—Individuals can be susceptible to disorders of the hands and
arms when exposed to tasks that involve highly repetitive motions and/or vibration.
To reduce the likelihood of these disorders, follow these guidelines:
Use minimum hand grip force
Keep wrists straight
Avoid exposure to continue vibration
Avoid repeated bending of wrists and hands
Keep hands and arms warm and dry
