Uncrating and Spotting
Spot the saw where it makes the most sense for the
operations you will probably be doing. If you are
going to be doing cut-off work on very long pieces of
stock, allow plenty of room for the stock, and the
infeed and outfeed supports. Remove the saw from
the shipping skid and discard any hold-down devices
that were used to secure the saw to the skid.
Electrical
Observe the following when connecting to the power
source. (The cut-off saw wiring diagrams are
provided in Figures 21 and 22.)
WARNING: WILTON RECOMMENDS THAT ANY
WIRING INVOLVING HARD WIRING OF THE SAW
TO A BRANCH, OR ANY CHANGE OF VOLTAGE
SUPPLIED TO THE MOTOR BE PERFORMED BY A
LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.
1. Make sure the saw is disconnected from the
power source, or that the fuses have been
removed or breakers tripped in the circuit in
which the saw will be connected. Make sure you
put a warning placard on the fuse or circuit
breaker to prevent accidental electrical shock.
2. If you are installing the motor power cord into a
receptacle, make sure to use the appropriate
plug.
3. If you are using hard-wired connections to a
junction box, connect the wires in the box, and
close the box.
4. Install the fuses or reset the breaker.
5. The saw is now ready for service.
Machine Setup
The saw delivered to you has been adjusted at the
factory. A number of test pieces have been cut using
the saw to verify the accuracy of cutting. Therefore,
the only setup operations required before releasing
the saw for service are spotting the saw and estab-
lishing the electrical connections to the motor.
