8.0Installation

8.1Setup

This saw must be placed on a firm and level ground. The work area must be kept clear of all waste to provide firm footing for the operator.

8.2 Connection to Power Mains

-Check if voltage of power mains matches with voltage stated on machine’s name plate. This machine must be earthed while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

-Models BKS400/3.1 kW must be connected to an earthed outlet with a 3-conductor mains lead.

-Models BKS 450/4.2 kW and 4.75 kW have to be connected to an earthed outlet with a 5-conductor mains lead.

-A minimum conductor cross section of 1.5mm /16 AWG is required. For the 3.1kW single-phase motor extension cords should have a conductor cross section of 2.5mm .

-Use of an extension cord with too small a conductor cross section causes voltage drop and consequently starting problems and excessive heat build-up in the motor.

8.3 Saw Blade Direction of Rotation

-On single-phase machines the saw blade’s direction of rotation does not need to be checked.

-For three-phase machines start saw briefly with all guards in place and check direction of rotation. If

incorrect interchange two phases by rotating two pins in the switch by 180°. Remove plug, use screwdriver with 6mm/1/4" blade to push lock down and turn pins.

-To prevent unauthorized use the switch can be blok- ked with a padlock.
