EARTH GROUNDING PROCEDURE
1. Customer to provide and install a ground rod approx. 0.60 (15mm) diameter, copper clad steel, to be driven no
less than 8’ (2.5m) into the ground, no more than 10’ (3m) away from control enclosure.
2. Ground rod to be connected to customer’s in plant ground system. This connection shall be made directly at the
ground rod. (If applicable).
3. It is desirable that the overall resistance to ground measured at the ground rod does not exceed 3 ohms.
4. Ground rod to be connected to ground terminal in control enclosure using insulated, stranded 6 gauge copper
wire.
5. An additional point check is ensuring continuity of ground within control enclosure. Start with main power entrance
ground terminal where internal ground conductors should originate and connect to, DIN terminal strip, control
transformer and the lid of control enclosure. Also PLC and Interface units should have their own ground conduc-
tors connected to one of the main ground terminals.
6. Properly functioning ground system will;
• Provide safety for personnel.
• Ensure correct operation of electrical/electronic devices.
• Prevent damage to electrical/electronic apparatus.
• Help dissipate lightening strikes.
• Divert stray radio frequency (RF) energy from electronic/control equipment.
HYDRAULIC OIL AND CUTTING FLUID
As shipped the saw oil tank is lled with Texaco Rando HD 46 hydraulic oil. If you want to change the hydraulic oil or the
brand of oil, see HYDRAULIC MAINTENANCE section.
No cutting uid is supplied with the machine. There are two types of coolant available:
• Oil based; dilute in 1:10 ratio (one part of concentrated coolant and 10 parts of water).
• Synthetic; dilute as recommended by manufacturer.
