In use, the chair should be far enough under the bench so that the operator’s back is straight and is
supported by the back rest.
D.
Foot Switch
When the operator is correctly positioned in front of a machine equipped with a foot switch, the foot should
rest on the switch comfortably. The foot switch should be movable, so that its location can be readily
changed when the operator shifts position to minimize fatigue. Placing the switch on a rubber mat keeps it
movable while preventing unintentional sliding.
The preferred foot switch location varies to some extent among operators. Some operators prefer the
switch located so that their foot rests on the switch when their feet are in the natural sitting position (calf of
leg perpendicular to the foot). Others prefer the leg to be slightly in front of the natural position. The
important thing to remember is that the foot should be at approximately 90
_
(right angle) to the calf when
resting on the switch. Those operators who prefer the foot switch slightly in front of the natural position
may require a wedge–shaped block placed under it.
E.
Scrap Removal
A suggested method of scrap removal: place a tray on the right side of the machine, under the cast slot in
the frame, to capture the scrap chips.

4. OPERATION
4.1. Control Panel Operation
The basic control panel operation is as described in Figure 10. The control panel will be used to set up and
operate the machine (see Paragraphs 4.3 and 4.4).
4.2. Applicator Installation
These instructions apply to Machines -1, -2, -5, and -6. Since Machines -3 and -4 do not contain a quick-release
feature, they do not contain a quick-change mounting base plate. The appropriate additional baseplate tooling will be
required on Machines -3 and -4.
Install the proper applicator in the quick–change mounting base as follows:
Ifthe machine is equipped with a precision adjustment feature, make sure that the precision adjustment lever has
been returned to the 0" position before installing the applicator. Be sure that the applicator has the proper feed cam
prior to installation.
Applicators from AMP-O-LECTRIC Model K" terminating machine and Model T" terminating machine can be used in
the ELT machine by using a special replacement cam. Refer to Figure 3.
