Warning
- The Vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
- The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the working period.
- An estimation of level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
- Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibrations such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
Symbols
- Caution! Warning! Danger!
- Always disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out any instructions
- Please read the instructions carefully before starting the machine.
- Tool uses protective earth and must be plugged into grounded outlet
Description
The tool is moved along the slats on the bed of a laser machine to remove slag that accumulates while cutting. Rotary cutting tools ride on each side of the slat to lift and remove the slag. It may be used on steel, copper or stainless steel slats. When not in use it may be rolled along the floor and stored in the upright position.
Initial Assembly
The Slag Hog ships in two pieces; power unit and the handle assembly. All fasteners are metric.
- Remove the nuts and button head socket screw from the 1.36”(345mm) diameter stub on the power unit.
- Slide the handle on the stub with the power out cord of the handle on the same side as the plug in on the power unit.
- Plug the power cord from handle tube into the power unit
WARNING
Do not plug into power outlet before verifying the switches on the handle and power unit are off; both rocker switches to 0.
Operation
The tool must be plugged into a receptacle with a grounded outlet Before plugging into power verify that the two switches are turned off Wear work gloves and safety glasses when operating Lift onto the cutting machine bed with care
WARNING Use extreme care near the cutters. Do not touch them unless the tool is unplugged.
The tool has two on/off switches
-
Figure 1
Rocker switch on handle end, in off position, acts as circuit breaker reset in case of over-current -
Figure 2
Rocker Switch on motor enclosure in off position.
- Both switches must be in ON or “l” position to run. Turning either switch OFF (“0” position) stops motor operation.
- The upper left picture shows the on/off switch that acts as the circuit breaker when the unit is overworked. If the slats are not straight it is possible for the cutters to grab onto two slats and stall the motor which will trip the breaker. If this occurs wait a minute, reset the breaker switch, and resume operation. When slats have excess slag build up it may cause the circuit breaker to overload. If this happens the operator will need to reduce force used for cleaning slats. If this occurs, reset the breaker, and resume operation.
- To begin use, place the tool on the slat bed of the laser machine, center the cutters over a slat, and turn on both switches. Cutter rotation will pull the tool down on the slats. The slats can be cleaned by moving the tool in either direction along the slat.
- With switches off, plug tool into a power outlet with appropriate current capacity to accept value given on machine label or as shown above in the Technical Data table.
To see the unit in operation, go to Youtube and search for Slaghog. The best video is:

The cutter geometry is ideal for most slat/pallet bed configurations. If the
fit of the cutters on the slats does not seem correct contact the factory to
find out options that are available.
When storing in upright position the unit is unstable and care must be taken
to ensure that it does not fall over, which may lead to damage of handle end
components. Damage due to dropping, improper handling, or falling over is not
covered by warranty.
Maintenance
WARNING Disconnect power by unplugging from outlet before performing any work on the tool
Cutters
The cutters will wear over time and require replacement.
Tools required for replacement
- 6mm L hex wrench
- 6mm male hex socket wrench
- Adjustable open wrench
Replacement Cutters
- 66106 – 14ga Slats
- 66031 – 11-12ga Slats
- 66105 – 10ga Slats
- 66095 – 7ga Slats
- 66096 – .250” Slats
- 67067 – .11/12ga Deep Slats
Parts required are RH & LH Cutter Set with cap screws. The most common cutters
are 66031 SET for 11/12ga slats. Most replacement cutters come with two M8 x
22 cap screws, two washers, and Blue Loctite 242. 67067 Cutter is longer and
uses a M8 x 70 cap screw.
Place the tool on its back with the cutters up.
Place the wrenches as shown and remove the right cutter cap screw with
counterclockwise rotation. Remove the right cutter. The cutter may be tight on
the shaft and will require light tapping with a hammer to remove.
Place adjustable wrench on flats of right shaft and remove left cutter with counterclockwise rotation.
Slide the new right hand and the left-hand cutters so that the flats between the shaft are facing the base plate as shown. The cutters rotate so that the slag chips are pulled up toward the base plate. The cutters must be installed as shown.
Apply Loctite 242 to the cap screw threads. With washers in place, thread then tighten cap screws into shaft ends using the male hex socket wrench and L hex wrench approach.
Cutter Wear
Even though cutters are made from hardened tool steel they do wear and will need to be replaced. When slag removal gets worse it may be time to replace cutters. The best way to determine if they are worn is to measure the distance between cutter tips. The below picture shows the proper gap for new 11-gauge cutters.
Other Wear
If the measured gap is less than the slat thickness, the Cutter Support Plates may have worn from hammering action after repeated use. This condition will overwork the motor and cause short brush life and may damage the motor. Call SlatPro for further advice on this problem.
Motor Brushes
If the tool has less torque while in use, it is likely that the brushes need
replacement.
Parts Required: Qty 1 of 67265SET Brush Kit for SH3-HD
There are access holes to brushes in top and bottom of Motor Enclosure
Unthread and remove Brush Caps from motor
Remove old brushes and install new and thread caps back in place
Other maintenance
All other repairs require qualified personnel to perform. In this case, the
factory or distributor should be contacted for further instructions.
