NOTICE

Safety Instructions for Machinery

SECTION 1: SAFETY

-8-

Model T28366 (Mfd. Since 04/18)

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.

Model T28366 (Mfd. Since 04/18)

-9-

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.

LOSS OF STABILITY. Unsupported workpieces

may jeopardize machine stability and cause the

machine to tip and fall, which could cause serious

injury.

COOLANT SAFET Y. Always follow manufac-

turer’s coolant safety instructions. Pay particular

attention to contact, contamination, inhalation,

storage, and disposal warnings. Spilled coolant

invites slipping hazards.

ATTENTION TO WORK AREA. Never leave

a machine running and unattended. Pay atten-

tion to the actions of others in the area to avoid

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.

HAND PLACEMENT. Never position fingers

or thumbs in line with the cut. Hands could

be crushed in vise or from falling machine

components.

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 CONDITION. Do not operate with dull,

cracked, or badly worn blade. Inspect blades for

cracks and missing teeth before each use.

BLADE REPLACEMENT. When replacing

blades, disconnect the machine from power, wear

gloves to protect hands and safety glasses to

protect eyes.

FIRE HAZARD. Use EXTREME CAUTION if cut-

ting magnesium. Using the wrong coolant will lead

to chip fire and possible explosion.

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.

POWER INTERRUPTION. Unplug machine after

power interruption. Machines without magnetic

switches can start up after power is restored.

Additional Safety for Metal Cutting Saws

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

machines there is danger associated with this machine. 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.

Model T28366 (Mfd. Since 04/18)

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 115V..... 8.5 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.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

For your own safety and protection of

property, consult an electrician if you are

unsure about wiring practices or electrical

codes in your area.

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

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.

This machine is prewired to operate on a power

supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets

the following requirements:

Circuit Requirements for 115V

Nominal Voltage .................... 110V, 115V, 120V

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

Phase ........................................... Single-Phase

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

Plug/Receptacle ............................. NEMA 5-15

Model T28366 (Mfd. Since 04/18)

-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.

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 Requirements

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.

Figure 4. Typical 5-15 plug and receptacle.

Grounding Pin

Neutral Hot

5-15 PLUG

GROUNDED

5-15 RECEPTACLE

For 115V operation: This machine is equipped

with a power cord that has an equipment-ground-

ing wire and a grounding plug (see following fig-

ure). The plug must only be inserted into a match-

ing receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed

and grounded in accordance with all local codes

and ordinances.

SHOCK HAZARD!

Two-prong outlets do not meet the grounding

requirements for this machine. Do not modify

or use an adapter on the plug provided—if

it will not fit the outlet, have a qualified

electrician install the proper outlet with a

verified ground.

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

1. Put on safety glasses.

2. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal

amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak

for 5–10 minutes.

3. 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.

4. 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

points and can explode

or cause fire if used to

clean machinery. Avoid

using these products

to clean machinery.

Many cleaning solvents

are toxic if inhaled. Only

work in a well-ventilated

area.

NOTICE

Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as

acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may

damage painted surfaces.

— If lifting and placing machine without help,

proceed to Step 5.

— If lifting and placing machine with help,

lift machine off pallet and carefully place

machine onto workbench or optional

T28367 stand, and proceed to Step 8.

5. Thread (4) eye bolts (see Figure 10) into

machine base, then thread lifting straps

through eye bolts. If using larger lifting straps,

attach shackles (not included) to eye bolts.

6. Use forklift or other lifting equipment to

lift machine off pallet and carefully place

machine onto workbench or optional T28367

stand.

7. Remove eye bolts from machine base.

8. Mount machine to workbench using

following instruction in Bench Mounting or to

optional stand following instructions included

Another option is a "direct mount" (see example

below) where the machine is secured directly to

the workbench with lag screws and washers.

The base of this machine has mounting holes

that allow it to be fastened to a workbench or

other mounting surface to prevent it from moving

during operation and causing accidental injury or

damage.

The strongest mounting option is a "Through

Mount" (see example below) where holes are

drilled all the way through the workbench—and

hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to

secure the machine in place.

Note: Gearbox is pre-filled with oil.

Assembly

5. Verify there is oil in gearbox by lower-

ing headstock and allowing oil to settle

for 10 seconds, then check oil sight glass

(see Figure 16). Oil level should be halfway

up sight glass, near red indicator dot.

To assemble machine:

1. Thread (4) vise handwheel handles into

handwheel hub (see Figure 13).

The machine must be fully assembled before it

can be operated. Before beginning the assembly

process, refer to

Needed for Setup

and gather

all

listed items.

To ensure the assembly process

goes smoothly, first clean any

parts that are

cov-

ered or coated in heavy-duty rust preventative (if

applicable).

— If oil level is not halfway up sight glass,

refer to Gearbox Oil on Page 32.

— If oil level is at least halfway up sight glass,

no further action is required. Continue to

Step 6.
