7) EXTENSION CABLE SELECTION
The machines are factory fitted with a 3 meter length cable, having three conductors 1.5mm² LIVE,
NEUTRAL and EARTH. If it becomes necessary to fit an extension cable from the power source, care
must be taken in using a cable of adequate capacity. Failure to do so will result in a loss of traction by
the magnet and a reduction of power from the motor.
Assuming a normal AC supply of the correct voltage, it is recommended that the following extension
lengths shall not be exceeded:
For 110v supply: 3.5metres of 3 core x 1.5mm² For 230v supply: 26metres of 3 core x
1.5mm²
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE
CHANGING CUTTERS.
8) MOUNTING OF CUTTERS
The machine has been made to accept cutters having 19.05mm (3/4”) dia. Weldon shanks.
The following procedure is to be used when mounting cutters:
o Lay the machine on its side with feed handles uppermost, ensuring arbor is wound
down to its lowest point to enable access to socket screws RD4066.
o Take appropriate pilot and place through the hole in the cutter shank. Insert shank
of cutter into bore of arbor, ensuring alignment of two drive flats with socket
screws.
o Tighten both screws using hexagon key.
