3 Setting Up Your TSM-35
Caution: Always use eye protection when operating power equipment.
1. Remove the machine from the pallet, position and secure your machine in its chosen lo-
cation.
Note: Holes in the base are for securing the machine to the floor. In some operations the
machine should be elevated for better ergonomic operation but it still must be
secured in place so that it cannot rock or tip.
2. Remove the brass elbow from the black urethane hose by pushing the floating ring to-
wards the elbow and pulling the hose at the same time.
3. Thread the elbow into the top of the Clamp Cylinder. It is pre-primed and self-sealing.
Point it toward the back of the machine and firmly push the hose back into the fitting.
Supply compressed air to the Regulator/ Lubricator Assembly at the front of the machine. The
regulator is factory set at approximately 85 PSI. (Check the gauge to confirm this setting.)
Castle suggests that a minimum of 3/8 inch air line should be used to operate this machine.
Quick disconnects are not recommended as they generally restrict the air flow (volume).
Note: Inadequate air supply may cause the machine to malfunction.
4. Remove Lubricator bowl and fill to Maximum Oil Level line with proper oil (supplied), then
replace full bowl.
5. Electrically hard wire to correct voltage as tagged on the machine. This is a 3-phase
machine and the voltage tag attached to the gray voltage box will show the voltage.
Caution: Use only a qualified electrician to hard wire your machine.
Note: The machine will not start if the air is off and/or the Case Top is in the lifted position.
6. Connect a dust collection system to the machine. Collection systems clear particles of
dust as well as venting heat away from your machine motor.
7. In the event that you are using your TSM-35 for face frames, we have provided adjust-
able stops for faster, more efficient pocket cutting.
