Installation of Panel Saw

Uncrating

Remove the panel saw from the shipping container and check for damage. Report any damage to the freight company immediately.

A wooden block and three cables have been fastened to the counterweight to secure it during shipment. This wooden block and cables must be removed before operation of the saw. Follow steps

1 through 4:

1.Make sure the cable attached to the motor carriage is placed over the pulley on top of the panel saw.

2.Loosen the locking knob on the motor carriage and move the carriage down to the bottom of the panel saw. See Figure 3. Tighten the locking knob securely.

3.At the back of the panel saw, on top of the counterweight housing, lift up on the wood block and cut the cables attached to the block. See Figure 4. DO NOT cut the main cable that runs through the pulley.

4.Remove the cables and wood block so that the counterweight can slide freely inside the housing.

Make sure there is enough space on both sides of the panel saw for loading, passing, and off-loading panels.

Grounding Instructions

Improper connection of the grounding wire can result in electric shock. If you are unsure whether an outlet is properly grounded, consult a qualified electrician.

Do not modify the plug provided with the saw and never remove the grounding prong from the plug. If cord or plug is damaged, have it repaired before using the machine. If plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet, shown in Figure 5, grounded and installed in accordance with all codes and ordinances. If the machine should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least-resistance to carry electricity away from the operator, reducing risk of electric shock.

The grounding prong on the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the machine.

The green wire must be the only wire connected to the machine’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal.
