ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF
YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRESPONDS WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D.
NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT,
CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP
LOCATIONS.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Both a manual circuit breaker (or similar device) as well as an electrical
plug (similar to the one shown) are recommended and SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Use locally approved wire A which includes a separate grounding wire and a
3-prong grounding type plug B with a matching receptacle C.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock to the operator. The motor of the ”M1” model of
this machine is wired for 220 V single-phase operation. As with many
stationary industrial type machines, because each installation situation is
unique, this machine is supplied without a power cord or plug. The
installation of an appropriate power cord and plug must be performed by a
qualified electrician. The machine must be connected to an electrical source
using a power cord that has a grounding wire, which must also be properly
connected to the grounding prong on the plug. The outlet must be properly
installed and grounded and all electrical connections must be made under all
local codes and regulations.
CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage
drawn from your machine, as well as any other machines that could be operating
on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician. If
the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regularly, your machine may be
operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. However,
if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power failure still occurs,
contact a qualified technician or our service department.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of an extension cord is not generally recommended for 220 V equipment.
If you find it necessary, use only 3-wire extension cords that have a 3-prong
grounding plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace a damaged extension cord or plug immediately. Make sure the
cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the motor I.D. plate. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the correct size extension cord
to be used based on cord length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge.

BASIC FUNCTIONS
This General International model 60-350 14” slow-speed cold cut saw is
designed for multipurpose cutting applications in all types of metal
fabrication shops.
With the correct carbide or hi-speed steel blade, the built-in coolant system,
and its low rpm blade speed this unit is designed to produce cleaner more
accurate cuts, as compared to abrasive wheels, on a variety of materials
including, aluminium, steel, and brass and other workpieces of various sizes
and profiles.
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / SAFETY ZONE
THIS COLD CUT SAW MODEL 60-350 IS HEAVY. DO NOT OVER-EXERT. A HOIST OR FORKLIFT WITH STRAPS SHOULD BE USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE. TO LIMIT THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE, ANY EQUIPMENT USED TO LIFT THIS MACHINE SHOULD HAVE A RATED CAPACITY ABOVE 550 LBS (250 KG).
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP
This machine should be installed and operated only on a solid, flat and stable
floor that can support the weight of the machine (550 lbs – 250 kg) and the
operator. Using the dimensions shown as a guideline, plan for placement within
your shop that will allow the operator to work unencumbered and unobstructed
by foot traffic (either passing shop visitors or other shop workers) or other
tools or machinery.
ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators, it is advisable to
establish a safety zone around shop machinery. A clearly defined ”no-go” zone
on the floor around each machine can help avoid accidents that could cause
injury to either the operator or the shop visitor. It is advisable to take a
few moments to either paint (using non-slip paint) or use tape and define on
the floor the limits or perimeter of each machine’s safety zone. Take steps to
ensure that all operators and shop visitors are aware that these areas are
off-limits whenever a machine is running for everyone but the individual
operating the unit.

ELECTRONIC SYSTEM PROTECTOR
The electronic inverter of this machine is equipped with an overload
protection feature. To prevent an electrical overload from damaging the motor,
in the event of a spike in line voltage or amperage draw, the internal
electronic system protector will automatically cut off power to the motor and
display an error message indicating the cause of the electrical problem.
Common causes of such overloads:
- Overworking the motor by forcing the saw, particularly with thicker denser material, thereby causing an increase in power consumption and a spike in amperage draw.
- An electrical extension cord that is too long or not the correct gauge of wire can also cause an increase in amperage draw. If an electric extension cord must be used, follow the instructions and refer to the chart in the electrical requirements section at the beginning of this manual.
- An overworked circuit is caused by operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. Make sure the circuit being used is capable of handling the amperage drawn from this machine as well as any other electrical devices operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
If the digital speed display on the control box indicates one of the error messages listed below*, wait a few seconds until the message disappears from the screen, then proceed as follows to reset the electronic system protector in and restart the machine.
