BEF320-1A Operating Manual GENERAL OPERATION It is essential that the cutters are not lowered too far and too hard onto the surface as serious damage could be caused to the machine and cutter drum assembly. THE cutters must be allowed to "float" on the cutter shafts without excessive downward pressure.
To control any dust created by the operation connect an industrial dust collector or vacuum to the 50mm port at the rear of the machine. We recommend the SPE 316 for almost 100% dust control. In the absence of a dust control unit it is acceptable to spray water onto the surface or to feed water down the vacuum port.
BEF320-1A Operating Manual MAINTENANCE PRIOR TO ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENT ISOLATE POWER SUPPLY AND STOP EQUIPMENT After use: Clean the machine to remove all build up of dust and surface residues. If using a hose pipe or pressure washer take care that water is not directed onto electrical components and switches.
