What’s Included

PLEASE DISPOSE OF THE
PACKAGING RESPONSIBLY; MUCH
OF THE MATERIAL IS RECYCLABLE

The machine and its accessories will arrive coated
with heavy corrosion preventative grease and
greased wax paper or plastic wrapping. These will
need to be cleaned from the machine, its
components and accessories prior to it being set up
and commissioned. Use water soluble de greaser to
remove the barrier grease. Be warned, it will stain if
you splash it on clothing etc.

WARNING! WEAR OVERALLS,
RUBBER GLOVES AND EYE
PROTECTION!

After cleaning, lightly coat the exposed metal
surfaces of the machine with a thin layer of light
machine oil. N.B If you used water soluble de greaser
make sure you apply this thin film sooner rather than
later. Please read the Instruction Manual prior to
using your new machine; as well as the
installation procedure, there are daily and
periodic maintenance recommendations to help
you keep your machine on top line and prolong
its life. Keep this Instruction Manual readily
accessible for any others who may also be
required to use the machine.

Having unpacked your machine and its accessories,
please check the contents against the equipment
list ”What’s Included”, if there are any discrepancies,
please contact Axminster Tool Centre using the
procedures laid down in the catalogue.

General Safety Instructions

Work Place/Environment/Installation

Mains Powered Machines/ Primary Precautions

These machines are supplied with a moulded 13
Amp. Plug and 3 core power cable. Before using the
machine inspect the cable and the plug to make sure
that neither are damaged. If any damage is visible
have the machine inspected/repaired by a suitably
qualified person. If it is necessary to replace the plug,
it is preferable to use an ‘unbreakable’ type that will
resist damage. Only use a 13 Amp plug, make sure
the cable clamp is tightened securely. Fuse at 13
Amp. If extension leads are to be used, carry out the

same safety checks on them, and ensure that they
are correctly rated to safely supply the current that
is required for your machine. It is also recommended
that the power supply outlet is the switched type,
and that the supply is switched off whilst plugging
in, or unplugging the machine.
