TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
IMPORTANT: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers,
such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the
lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced.
Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley:
The lift truck must be able to lift at least 1.5 –2
times the machines gross weight.
Make sure the machine is balanced. While
transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and
maintain a safe clearance zone around the
transport area.
Use a fork lift with sufficient lifting capacity and
forks that are long enough to reach the
complete width of the machine.
Remove the securing bolts that attach the machine to the pallet.
Approaching the machine from the side, lift the machine on the frame taking care that there
are no cables or pipes in the area of the forks.
Move the machine to the required position and lower gently to the floor.
Level the machine so that all the supporting feet are taking the weight of the machine and no
rocking is taking place.
Follow these guidelines when lifting crane or hoist:
Always lift and carry the machine with the lifting holes provided at the top of the machine.
Use lift equipment such as straps, chains, capable of lifting 1.5 to 2 times the weight of the
machine.
Take proper precautions for handling and lifting.
Check if the load is properly balanced by lifting it an inch or two.
Lift the machine, avoiding sudden accelerations or quick changes of direction.
Locate the machine where it is to be installed, and lower slowly until it touches the floor.

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine:
Overall weight of the machine.
Weight of material being processed.
Sizes of material to be processed through the machine.
Space needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery.
Clearance from walls and other obstacles.
Maintain an adequate working area around the machine for safety.
Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from
obstructing objects.
If long lengths of material are to be fed into the machine, make sure that they will not extend
into any aisles.
LEVELING: The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it
should be in position prior to placing the machine. The accuracy of any machine depends on
the precise placement of it to the mounting surface.
FLOOR: This tool distributes a large amount of weight over a small area. Make certain that
the floor is capable of supporting the weight of the machine, work stock, and the operator.
The floor should also be a level surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks once in place, be sure to
eliminate by using shims.
WORKING CLEARANCES: Take into consideration the size of the material to be
processed. Make sure that you allow enough space for you to operate the machine freely.
POWER SUPPLY PLACEMENT: The power supply should be located close enough to the
machine so that the power cord is not in an area where it would cause a tripping hazard. Be
sure to observe all electrical codes if installing new circuits and/or outlets.
Anchoring the Machine
Once positioned, anchor the machine to the floor, as shown in
the diagram. Use bolts and expansion plugs or sunken tie rods
that connect through and are sized for the holes in the base of
the stand.
This machine requires a solid floor such as concrete at a
minimum of 4” (102mm) thick. 6” (153mm) minimum is preferred.

ELECTRICAL
Power Specifications
Your tool is wired for 220 volts, 60Hz alternating current. Before connecting the tool to the power
source, make sure the machine is cut off from power source.
Before switching on the power, you must check the voltage and frequency of the power to see if
they meet with the requirement. The allowed range for the voltage is ±5%, and for the frequency
is ±1%.
IMPORTANT: To achieve proper performance and prevent damage, the power supplied
to this machine must be 220VAC ±5% (209VAC to 231VAC). Failure to comply will damage the
machine and void the warranty. If needed, contact Baileigh Industrial at 920-684-4990 to
purchase a Buck Boost transformer. The service personal will be able to assist in placing the
order for the transformer or provide specifications so that you will be able to obtain the proper
transformer for your application. Buck-Boost transformers are small single phase
transformers designed to lower (buck) or raise (boost) line voltage from 5-20%.
Considerations
Observe local electrical codes when connecting the machine.
The circuit should be protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker with a amperage
rating slightly higher than the full load current of machine.
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. Before connecting the motor to the
power line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current
is of the same characteristics as indicated on the tool.
All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the
motor.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BY
A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN!
Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate.
WARNING: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected
to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if
any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.

18
18
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
Power cord connection:
1. Verify that power is turned OFF on the control panel and the power source.
2. Unwrap the power cord and route the cord away from the machine toward the power supply.
a. Route the power cord so that it will NOT become entangled in the machine in any
way.
b. Route the cord to the power supply in a way that does NOT create a trip hazard.
3. Connect the power cord to the power supply and check that the power cord has not been
damaged during installation.
4. When the machine is clear of any obstruction. The main power switch may be turn ON to test
the operation. Turn the switch OFF when the machine is not in operation.
WARNING:In all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is
properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the
receptacle.
