INTERRUPTED MATERIAL FEED
Material feed may be interrupted when the cutter slips due to several possibilities, such as worn
cutters, excessive external forces etc.. Should interruption of the material feed occur, do not try to
move the machine with the cutter engaged in the cutting position, or shake the machine or
plate, as this is likely to break the cutter. Proceed as follows:
1. Positively isolate/disconnect the
AC power supply.
2. Clean the area around the Main
Roller and Slide Base Assembly,
then loosen the Slide Base
Clamping Bolt.
3. Lower the Slide Base Assembly
by turning the Slide Base
Adjusting Bolt counter-clockwise.
4. Disengage the cutter from the
plate being bevelled. Note: It
may be necessary to temporarily
reconnect the AC power supply
and use the directional selector
switch to BRIEFLY run the
machine in the reverse (“REV”)
direction.
5. Draw the machine back from the
plate and grind off any projections
from the bevelled surface.
6. Rectify the problem that caused the interruption (i.e. worn cutter; too large of a cut; incorrect
height adjustment; etc.).
7. Readjust the machine settings. IMPORTANT: Ensure that no dirt or other contaminant
has been trapped behind the Main Roller, or behind the Slide Base, and ensure that
the Slide Base is seated properly, before FIRMLY re-tightening the Slide Base Clamping
Bolt.
8. Reconnect the AC power supply.
9. Restart the machine and bevel operation.
Note: Hydraulic
undercarriage may not be
as shown.
