Before Use
The model X400 belt grinder is a two wheel path belt
grinder that uses a 1-1/2-inch x 48-inch continuous

safety we recommend you read and understand all
operating instructions, manuals, labels, and other
information provided with the equipment.
WARNING:
USE CAUTION WHEN LIFTING GRINDER. USE TWO
PEOPLE WHEN REMOVING FROM SHIPPING BOX.
Prior to operating the model X400 please
take time to do the following:
1. Ensure that you have received all of the items that
you ordered. Compare the packing slip with your
purchase order and with the physical items received.
2. Verify that there is no obvious shipping damage.
If shipping damage is discovered, notify
the freight carrier of your intention to file a
freight damage claim. They will assist you.
3. Verify that the AC power that is identified on
the machine as received matches the AC power
with which you intend to operate the machine.
Do not modify the machine’s wiring without
first contacting your OREGON® distributor.
4. Do not modify or defeat any electrical
wiring safety feature. NEVER remove the
grounding pin on the AC electrical plug.
5. Verify that you have received an
Instructional Manual.
6. Verify that the safety guards for the machine
are in place and functional. See the schematic
on the previous page for part numbers.
7. Verify that the Contact Wheel Guard (Item 3,

are mounted and adjusted such that the platen
lightly touches the back of the abrasive belt.
8. Prior to operating the model X400 read the
Instruction Manual carefully. Ensure that all persons
who will operate the machine or who will work
in the vicinity of the machine, read, understand,
and comply with these safety instructions.
9. Ensure that the grinder is located in an area that
provides operators with clear and unobstructed
access to the machine. The work place should

surface or pedestal. If a pedestal is used,
bolt the pedestal securely to the floor.

properly sized and properly fused for the machine you

determine the proper specifications for your electrical
service prior to connecting your model belt grinder.
