Operating Instructions
The EF-2000 Edge Finisher is designed to remove .017″– .025″(.44mm – .65mm)
of material in one pass through the machine. Material may be run individually or in
stacks up to a total thickness of 2″(50mm). Be advised, as with any cutting process
regardless of material type, cut edge quality is reduced significantly on stacks of four or
more parts, irrespective of part thickness.
Before using this machine, read and observe all operating safety warnings
and precautions!
Caution:
Never run material through the Edge Finisher machine on
the tracks unless the spindle is rotating, as serious damage to the cutter
may result.
1. Before operating this machine, make sure that the main disconnect switch on the
control panel is in the
"ON"
position and that the emergency stop switch is pulled out
in the
"RESET"
position. Make sure the tracks are clean and free of chips.
2. With the belt drive and the cutter in the stopped position, insert the plastic sheet
between the belts with both Cam Adjust Levers wide open.
Caution:
Do not advance the workpiece beyond the end of the infeed
rail. If the workpiece touches the diamond inserts when the cutter is not
rotating, they may be damaged or destroyed.
3. Close both Cam Adjust Levers to snug up the acrylic sheet(s) for proper grip and central
alignment with the cutter head.
4. Turn up the speed control to #40 (5″/min / 1.52m/min.) and start the spindle motor by
pushing the start button on the electrical panel.
Note:
On first use, make sure that the cutter is rotating in a counter-
clockwise direction. If it is not, shut down the machine and turn the
Main Disconnect switch to the
“OFF”
position. Have an electrician
interchange the white and red wires connected to terminal block terminals
108 and 109 in the Electrical Box. Refer to
Location of Components
on
page 18, and
Wiring Diagram
on page 20. Re-check the spindle rota-
tion. If spindle rotation is counterclockwise, proceed with next step.
