8. Ensure that the grinder is located in an area that
provides clear access to the machine such that
operators have safe and unobstructed access
to the machine. The work place should be free
from oor obstructions, trip points, and other
faults that may reduce operator safety.
9. OREGON recommends that all three phase
installations include a magnetic starter. Magnetic
starters protect motors from "single phasing",
overheating, etc. thereby reducing the risk of damage
to the equipment and/or re hazard to your facility.
10. Ensure that the model 760 AC power source
is properly sized, and properly fused. You
should consult a competent electrician, or
you may call OREGON for guidance.
• Do not use abrasive belts that use lap splice joints.
Lap spliced belts are prone to separation. They
may also tend to snag your work and create a
potential safety hazard by snagging and propelling
the work part in the operator's direction.
