Gullco KBM-28 - Manual (Page 3)

i
READ BEFORE USING THE KBM®-28 BEVELLER
IMPORTANT NOTES:
All machine operators must be familiar with the Safety Instructions on
pages 1 & 2 of this manual before attempting to use the KBM
®
-28 Beveller.
The machine must be set in accordance with the “Bevel Setting” section of
this manual (pages 11 - 16) prior to bevelling or machine / cutter damage
will occur.
Bevelling should always be done conservatively. No more than 70% of the
machines total bevelling capacity may be bevelled in a single pass. Multi-
pass bevelling is required in such instances.
As the bevelling capacity of the machine is reduced on higher tensile
materials, no more than 50% of the machines total bevelling capacity
should be bevelled in a single pass when bevelling high tensile steel and
stainless steel.
