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 three 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.
