lation, joining and forming methods is the responsibility of
the system designer and/or installer. Selection of improp-
er materials and methods could cause system failure.
Stainless steel and other corrosion resistant materials
can be contaminated during installation, joining and form-
ing. This contamination could cause corrosion and pre-
mature failure. Careful evaluation of materials and methods

for the specific service conditions, including chemical and
temperature, should be completed before any installation

Pre-operation Inspection

WARNING
Before each use, inspect your beveller and correct
any problems to reduce the risk of serious injury
from electric shock, entanglement, crushing injuries
and other causes and prevent beveller damage.
1. Make sure that the beveller is unplugged and press
the OFF button.
2. Clean any oil, grease, dirt, or chips from the bev-
eller, including the handles and controls. This aids
inspection and helps prevent the machine or con-
trol from slipping from your grip. Clean and maintain
the machine per the Maintenance Instructions.
3. Inspect the beveller for the following:
• Inspect the cord and plug for damage or modifica-
tion.
• Proper assembly, maintenance and completeness.
• Any broken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding
parts or other damage.
• Drive roll knurl is clean and in good condition. If
needed, clean with a wire brush. Worn or dirty drive
roll knurls can cause slippage or tracking issues in
use. Dirty rolls and knurls can cause ferrous con-
tamination of stainless steel.
• Presence and readability of the warning and instruc-
tion labels (See Figure 1).
• Confirm fasteners and cutter head are secure.
• Confirm that drive shaft only turns in the clockwise
directions (as marked on decal).
• Inspect the cutting edges of the cutter inserts in the
cutter head for wear, deformation, chips or other
issues. Confirm that the cutter inserts are secure.
Dull, damaged or loose cutting inserts can damage
the tool, produce poor quality cut and increase the
risk of injury.
• Any other condition which may prevent safe and
normal operation.
If any problems are found, do not use the tool until the
problems have been repaired.
