4.4 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION: TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR AND DANGER TO THE OPERATOR,
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE MADE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.
All machines are wired for three phase electrical power unless otherwise specified.
To insure satisfactory machine performance, the supply voltage should be (+ or -) 10% of the motor
voltage rating. Check the motor data tag for full load current requirements. The electrical diagram
for the machine is inside the cover of the control box. The diagrams are also ON THE FOLLOWING
THREE PAGES. For electrical supply lines ten feet (3m) or shorter, we recommend at least 12 gauge,
and preferably, 10. For longer electrical supply lines, use at least 10 gauge, and preferably, 8. We do not
recommend supply lines longer than twenty five feet (7.5m).

4.5 MACHINE START-UP
Before starting this machine, take time to thoroughly review the safety CD and the operator's manual.
This machine is equipped with a lock-out, disconnect switch. We strongly urge you to follow OSHA
directive CFR-1910.147 (effective 09-01-90) regarding lock-out, tag-out procedures. Before powering the
machine, be sure that all packing materials and tools have been removed from the machine and that the
work stations are clear. TO POWER THE MACHINE, place the disconnect switch in the ON position
and the selector switch in the START position. Power the machine by pushing the green START button.
Once the machine has been powered, it will not move until the selector switch has been placed in either
the PUNCH or the SHEAR position. Placing the selector switch in the PUNCH position will cause the
arms to move down. Placing the selector switch in the SHEAR position will cause the arms to move up. If
the machine does not move when the selector switch is placed in the PUNCH or SHEAR position, the
motor rotation is not correct and the electrician will have to switch two of the three supply line wires to
change the direction of rotation. Any time that the power to the machine has been turned off, the selector
switch must be placed in the START position to restart the machine.
