BEF320-1A
Operating Manual
STARTING WORK
CHECK the following prior to starting the equipment:
- Check condition of cutter drum assembly
- Check all bolts for tightness
- Check drive belt condition and tension
- Check drive pulleys are undamaged and clean
- Check all leads, pipes and hoses for damage
- Check electrical cables/plugs
- Check RCD protection is fitted and working
1. Ensure power supply is correct. BEF320-1A requires a 380/415v 32amp supply from the
mains or generated by a minimum of 25kva on 50 cycles.
2. After connecting the machine to the power supply turn the red isolator (on the front of
electric panel) to the on position. Red light will illuminate on panel.
3. BEFORE starting the machine ensure the cutter drum assembly is clear of the ground. If
not adjust using hand wheel.
4. ENSURE the drive control levers are in the non-drive/neutral (central) position and speed
control knob is turned to OFF position.
5. Connect vacuum hose to dust port at side of machine if dust control vacuum is being used.
6. START the electric motor using the green button on top of the electric panel. Check that the
three phase power supply is phased to suit the machine. The electric motor should be turning
in direction of arrow on cooling fan cover ie clockwise when viewed from the non drive side of
machine. If not the electric motor will be turning in reverse and hydraulic drive systems will not
operate. (To reverse phases see page 3).
7. OPERATE the hydraulic lift/lower lever allowing the machine to fall to its lowest position
8. SLOWLY rotate the hand wheel until the cutters make contact with the surface to be
treated.
9. Push both drive control levers forward and slowly open the speed control knob until
machine is moving at satisfactory speed.
10. Adjust hand wheel to desired cutting depth and engage hand wheel locking pin.
11. To raise and lower machine use hydraulic lift lever to the left of hand wheel.
12. To turn machine around at end of run raise out of cut, reduce forward speed and pull
either drive control lever back through neutral and into reverse. Pulling the left lever will make
machine turn left and the right one turn right.

- Page 2 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 dow nward pressure.
- Page 3 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.
