Test Run

Once assembly is complete, test run the machine 
to  ensure  it  is  properly  connected  to  power  and 
safety components are functioning correctly.

If you find an unusual problem during the test run, 
immediately stop the machine, disconnect it from 
power, and fix the problem BEFORE operating the 
machine again. The 

Troubleshooting table in the 

SERVICE section of this manual can help.

DO NOT start machine until all preceding 

setup instructions have been performed. 

Operating an improperly set up machine 

may result in malfunction or unexpect-

ed results that can lead to serious injury, 

death, or machine/property damage.

Serious injury or death can result from 

using this machine BEFORE understanding 

its controls and related safety information. 

DO NOT operate, or allow others to operate, 

machine until the information is understood. 

To test run machine:

1.  Clear all setup tools away from machine.

2.  Press Emergency Stop button in.

3.  Connect machine to power by inserting power 

cord plug into a matching receptacle.

4.  Insert  key  into  Master  Power  Key  Switch, 

then rotate switch to "1" position (see 

Figure 

40). This turns incoming power ON.

5.  Twist Emergency Stop button clockwise until 

it  springs  out  (see 

Figure  40).  This  resets 

switch so machine can start.

6.  Press  ON  button  (see  Figure  40)  to  turn 

machine 

ON. Verify motor starts up and runs 

smoothly  without  any  unusual  problems  or 
noises.

7.  Press Emergency Stop button to turn machine 

OFF.

8.  WITHOUT resetting Emergency Stop button, 

try  to  start  machine  by  pressing  ON  button. 
Machine should not start.

— If  the  machine  does not  start,  the  safety 

feature  of  the  Emergency  Stop  button  is 
working correctly.

— If  the  machine  does  start,  immediately 

turn  it 

OFF,  disconnect  power,  and  con-

tact customer service for assistance. The 
safety feature of the Emergency Stop but-
ton is NOT working properly and must be 
replaced before further using the machine.
