Safety Instructions for Machinery

SECTION 1: SAFETY

-8-

G0783 (Mfd. Since 05/15)

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear

clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become

entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or

cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce

risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally

contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery

operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or

long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust

hazards associated with each workpiece mate-

rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to

reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear-

ing protection when operating or observing loud

machinery. Extended exposure to this noise

without hearing protection can cause permanent

hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on

machinery can become dangerous projectiles

upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,

or any other tools on machine. Always verify

removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use

this tool for its intended purpose—do not force

it or an attachment to do a job for which it was

not designed. Never make unapproved modifica-

tions—modifying tool or using it differently than

intended may result in malfunction or mechanical

failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times when operating machine.

Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions

that make workpiece control difficult or increase

the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and

bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.

Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce

accidental contact with moving parts or flying

debris. Make sure they are properly installed,

undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE

operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.

It will do the job safer and better at the rate for

which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury

may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting

tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur-

ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or

loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is

stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult

this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec-

ommended accessories. Using improper acces-

sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the

risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and

ensure all moving parts completely stop before

walking away. Never leave machine running

while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance

instructions and lubrication schedules to keep

machine in good working condition. A machine

that is improperly maintained could malfunction,

leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine

for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or

any condition that could affect safe operation.

Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating

machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate

machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect-

ing cord-connected machines from power, grab

and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord

may damage the wires inside. Do not handle

cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by

keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic

areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time

you experience difficulties performing the intend-

ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our

Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Like all

machines there is danger associated with the Model G0783. Accidents are frequently caused by

lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen

the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious

personal injury may occur.

Serious injury or death can occur from getting fingers, hair, or clothing entangled in rotating or

moving parts. Workpieces can be ejected by saw, striking operator or bystanders. Long-term

respiratory damage can occur from breathing metal dust created while cutting. To minimize risk

of injury, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.

FIRE HAZARD. Use EXTREME CAUTION if cut-

ting magnesium. Using the wrong cutting fluid will

lead to chip fire and possible explosion.

CUTTING FLUID SAFETY. Always follow manu-

facturer’s cutting-fluid safety instructions. Pay

particular attention to contact, contamination,

inhalation, storage and disposal warnings. Spilled

cutting fluid invites slipping hazards.

ATTENTION TO WORK AREA. Never leave a

machine running and unattended. Pay attention

to the actions of others in the area to avoid unin-

tended accidents.

MAINTENANCE/SERVICE. All inspections,

adjustments, and maintenance are to be done

with the power OFF and the plug pulled from the

outlet. Wait for all moving parts to come to a com-

plete stop.

HEARING PROTECTION & HAZARDS. Noise

generated by blade and workpiece vibration,

material handling, and power transmission can

cause permanent hearing loss over time and

interfere with communication and audible signals.

HOT SURFACES. Contact with hot surfaces from

machine components, ejections of hot chips,

swarf, and the workpiece itself can cause burns.

BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull,

cracked or badly worn blade. Inspect blades for

cracks and missing teeth before each use.

HAND PLACEMENT. Never position fingers or

thumbs in line with the cut. Hands could be

crushed in vise or from falling machine compo-

nents.

ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS. Do not operate

this saw without blade guard in place. Loose

clothing, jewelry, long hair and work gloves can be

drawn into working parts.

BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing

blades, disconnect the machine from power, wear

gloves to protect hands and safety glasses to

protect eyes.

WORKPIECE HANDLING. Always support the

workpiece with table, vise, or some type of sup-

port fixture. Flag long pieces to avoid a tripping

hazard. Never hold the workpiece with your hands

during a cut.

LOSS OF STABILITY. Unsupported workpieces

may jeopardize machine stability and cause the

machine to tip and fall which could cause serious

injury.

POWER INTERRUPTION. Unplug machine after

power interruption. Machines without magnetic

switches can start up after power is restored.

G0783 (Mfd. Since 05/15)

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Availability

Before installing the machine, consider the avail-

ability and proximity of the required power supply

circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the

requirements for this machine, a new circuit must

be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,

fire, or equipment damage, installation work and

electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or

qualified service personnel in accordance with all

applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, shock,

or equipment damage

may occur if machine is

not properly grounded

and connected to power

supply.

Full-Load Current Rating

The full-load current rating is the amperage a

machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.

On machines with multiple motors, this is the

amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all

motors and electrical devices that might operate

at one time during normal operations.

Full-Load Current Rating at 220V ..... 10 Amps

The full-load current is not the maximum amount

of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine

is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond

the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length

of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—

especially if connected to an undersized circuit.

To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over-

loading the machine during operation and make

sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that

meets the specified circuit requirements.

For your own safety and protection of

property, consult an electrician if you are

unsure about wiring practices or electrical

codes in your area.

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to

a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will

be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will

be connected to a shared circuit where multiple

machines may be running at the same time, con-

sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to

ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical

equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel

in the building and the machine. The power sup-

ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to

safely handle the full-load current drawn from the

machine for an extended period of time. (If this

machine is connected to a circuit protected by

fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

Circuit Information

Circuit Requirements

This machine is prewired to operate on a power

supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets

the following requirements:

Nominal Voltage ......... 208V, 220V, 230V, 240V

Cycle ..........................................................60 Hz

Phase .................................................... 3-Phase

Power Supply Circuit ......................... 15 Amps

Plug/Receptacle ....................................... 15-15

G0783 (Mfd. Since 05/15)

-11-

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The

wire with green insulation (with or without yellow

stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair

or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec-

essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding

wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per-

sonnel if you do not understand these grounding

requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether

the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice

that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon-

nect it from power, and immediately replace it with

a new one.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord

with this machine.

If you must use an extension

cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only

on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can

damage electrical components and shorten motor

life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord

size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller

(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must

be in good condition and contain a ground wire

and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must

meet the following size requirements:

Minimum Gauge Size ...........................14 AWG

Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.

Grounding Prong

No adapter should be used with plug. If

plug does not fit available receptacle, or if

machine must be reconnected for use on a

different type of circuit, reconnection must

be performed by an electrician or qualified

service personnel, and it must comply with

all local codes and ordinances.

Serious injury could occur if you connect

machine to power before completing setup

process. DO NOT connect to power until

instructed later in this manual.

Grounding Instructions

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event

of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding

reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a

path of least resistance for electric current.

The plug specified under “Circuit Requirements”

on the previous page has a grounding prong that

must be attached to the equipment-grounding

wire on the included power cord. The plug must

only be inserted into a matching receptacle (see

following figure) that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances.

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are

coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that

prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.

This rust preventative works extremely well, but it

will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your

machine. The time you spend doing this now will

give you a better appreciation for the proper care

of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven-

tative, but the following steps work well in a wide

variety of situations. Always follow the manufac-

turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you

use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated

area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

Put on safety glasses.

Coat the rust preventative with a liberal

amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak

for 5–10 minutes.

Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-

er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe

off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper,

scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe

off the rest with the rag.

Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,

then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality

metal protectant to prevent rust.

Gasoline and petroleum

products have low flash

Anchoring to Floor

Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping

or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur

during operation, resulting in a machine that runs

slightly quieter and feels more solid.

If the machine will be installed in a commercial or

workplace setting, or if it is permanently connect-

ed (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes

may require that it be anchored to the floor.

If not required by any local codes, fastening the

machine to the floor is an optional step. If you

choose not to do this with your machine, we rec-

ommend placing it on machine mounts, as these

provide an easy method for leveling and they have

vibration-absorbing pads.

Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)

are a popular way to anchor machinery to a con-

crete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the

floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move

the machine later, if needed. However, anytime

local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring

methodology specified by the code.
