SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

6
6
Metal working can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As
with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using
the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury.
However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator
may result.
Safety equipment such as guards, hold-downs, safety glasses, dust masks and hearing
protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard will not make up for poor
judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and exercise caution in
the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it.
REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.
Dear Valued Customer:
•All Baileigh machines should be used only for their intended use.

UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS
Your Baileigh machine is shipped complete. Separate all parts from the packing material and
check each item carefully. Make certain all items are accounted for before discarding any
packing material.
Cleaning
Your machine may be shipped with a rustproof waxy coating and/or grease on the exposed
unpainted metal surfaces. Fully and completely remove this protective coating using a
degreaser or solvent cleaner. Moving items will need to be moved along their travel path to
allow for cleaning the entire surface. For a more thorough cleaning, some parts will occasionally
have to be removed. DO NOT USE acetone or brake cleaner as they may damage painted
surfaces.
Follow manufacturer’s label instructions when using any type of cleaning product. After cleaning,
wipe unpainted metal surfaces with a light coating of quality oil or grease for protection.
Important: This waxy coating is NOT a lubricant and will cause the machine to
stick and lose performance as the coating continues to dry.
WARNING: SUFFOCATION HAZARD! Immediately discard any plastic
bags and packing materials to eliminate choking and suffocation hazards to children
and animals.
If any parts are missing, DO NOT place the machine into service until the missing
parts are obtained and installed correctly.
WARNING: DO NOT USE gasoline or other petroleum products to clean
the machine. They have low flash points and can explode or cause fire.
CAUTION: When using cleaning solvents work in a well-ventilated area.
Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled.

TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
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.
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.
NOTICE: 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.

11
11
•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 machine 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.
