Extension Cable Selection; Mounting Of Cutters; Capstan Operation - Rotabroach Element 40 PERM Manual

EXTENSION CABLE SELECTION

The machines are factory fitted with a 3-metre length of cable having three conductors 1.5mm²
LIVE, NEUTRAL and EARTH. If it becomes necessary to fit an extension cable from the power
source, care must be taken in using a cable of adequate capacity. Failure to do so will result in a
loss of traction by the magnet and a reduction of power from the motor.
Should the mains cable become damaged and need replacing, please ensure this is carried out
only be an approved Rotabroach Engineer.
Assuming a normal AC supply of the correct voltage, it is recommended that the following
extension lengths shall not be exceeded:
For 110v supply: 3.5metres of 3 core x 1.5mm²
For 230v supply: 26metres of 3 core x 1.5mm²
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE

MOUNTING OF CUTTERS

The following procedure is to be used when mounting cutters:
• Lay the machine on its side with feed handles uppermost, ensuring arbor is wound down to its
lowest point to enable access to socket screws RD4066.
• Take appropriate pilot and place through the hole in cutter shank. Insert shank of cutter into
bore of arbor, ensuring alignment of two drive flats with socket screws.
• Tighten both screws using hexagon key.
