The electric motor is the fundamental part of the machine and is also (I believe) one of the most expensive components. Like all electric motors, they must be well protected from weather conditions, even when the temperature is too high or too low.

Recommendation

1. When changing tooling or servicing the machine, unplug the power cord.  In the event that either the motor or the pump becomes stalled, unplug the power cord immediately to avoid the hazard of electrical fire or damage to the components.
2. When changing tooling or servicing the machine, unplug the power cord. In the event that either the motor or the pump becomes stalled, unplug the power cord immediately to avoid the hazard of electrical fire or damage to the components.
3. Prevent feedwheel from rotating or moving into the cutter assembly when not in use by securing the feedwheel with the chained hook.
4. This machine contains exposed moving parts. Operating personnel should use caution not to place hands and fingers into moving parts such as the die head and the cutter blades. Operating personnel should also use caution and not wear loose clothing and/or jewelry that may become tangled in the machinery. The belt guard and control box covers must be in place at all times and are only to be removed by qualified service personnel with the power cord disconnected.
5. To avoid electric hazards and damage to the machine, the unit should not be exposed to rain, snow or other sources of moisture.
6. Proper circulation of the cutting oil throughout the machine is critical and depending on the ambient temperature, it may be necessary to allow time for the oil to warm up enough to circulate freely. Do not perform coning or threading operations until oil flows from the tubes.
7. Always apply the correct power supply as per indication in the electrical motor.
8. This machine is designed to be operated under clean and dry conditions. Operating environment temperatures should not be below 32°F (0°C) or greater than 100°F (38°C).
