POWERING UP THE CUTTER
1.5.1
EARTHING (“GROUNDING”)
!
SAFETY WARNING
An insulated earth conductor must be installed as part of the branch
circuit that supplies power to the wall outlet to which the cutter is
connected. The earth conductor must have the same size, insulation
material, and thickness as the earthed and unearthed branch-circuit
supply conductors, but the insulating sheath should be green, or
green with yellow striping.
The earth conductor described above must be earthed at the
electrical distribution board, or, if power is supplied by a separate
system, at the power supply transformer motor / generator set.
The wall sockets into which the cutter is plugged must be of the
earthed type. The earth conductors serving said wall sockets must be
properly connected to earth.
CAUTION
Before plugging in the cutter's power cord to a power source, make
sure the cutter is set to the correct operating voltage (100 V, 120 V,
220 V, or 240 V AC).
(see section 3.2)
See Table 1-8 for the minimum and maximum operating voltage for the
different voltage ratings.
To check the operating voltage setting, locate the power entry module (shown
in Figure 1-1) on the cutter's rear panel. The power entry module shows four
possible voltage settings (100 V, 120 V, 220 V and 240 V). A pin next to one of
the voltage settings indicates the voltage setting currently selected for the
cutter. If this setting does not match the voltage supplied to your site, you will
have to change the voltage setting prior to powering up the cutter.
For information about the conversion of the cutter's operating voltage and the
exact fuse ratings, see Section 3.2.
