Safety Precaution Sheet
To be read carefully
before use
1. The operator should be fully instructed in the use of the machine, its
cut-off wheels and cup wheels according to the Instruction Manual and
the instructions for the cut-off wheels and cup wheels.
2. The machine must be placed on a safe and stable support table.
3. Be sure that the actual voltage corresponds to the voltage stated on the
back of the machine. The machine must be earthed.
4. Use only intact cut-off wheels or cup wheels. The cut-off wheels and
cup wheels must be approved for min. 5000 rpm. If other cut-off
wheels, saw blades or cup wheels are used, make sure that the speed
setting of Accutom-50 complies with the max. speed for the cut-off
wheels, saw blades or cup wheels.
5. Observe the current safety regulations for handling, mixing, filling,
emptying and disposal of the additive for cooling fluid.
6. The sample must be securely fixed in the specimen holder.
7. Do not touch the sample, the specimen holder head, the cut-off wheel
or cup wheel while positioning the sample with the POSITION controls.
8. Never try to open the cover before the cut-off wheel or cup wheel has
stopped completely.
The equipment should only be used for its intended purpose and as detailed in the Instruction Manual.
The equipment is designed for use with consumables supplied by Struers. If subjected to misuse, improper

Accutom-50 is shipped with 2 types of Mains cables:
The 2-pin (European Schuko) plug is for use on single-phase
connections.
If the plug supplied on this cable is not approved in your country,
then the plug must be replaced with an approved plug. The leads
must be connected as follows:
Yellow/green: earth
Brown: line (live)
Blue: neutral
The 3-pin (North American NEMA) plug is for use on 3-phase power
connections.
If the plug supplied on this cable is not approved in your country,
then the plug must be replaced with an approved plug. The leads
must be connected as follows:
Green: earth
Black: line (live)
White: line (live)
Both cables are on the other end equipped with an IEC 320 cable
connector that has to be connected to the Accutom.
Single-phase Supply
3-phase Supply
Connection to the Machine
WARNING!
The output voltage from this cable is 200 – 240V and not 110V.
DO NOT use this cable to connect equipment that use a 110V power
supply. Failure to adhere to this may result in material damage.

recirculation tank and push the drawer with the recirculation tank
into place again.
Check that the end of the inlet tube has dropped into position.
Recirculation Unit
IMPORTANT
Always ensure that there is sufficient water in the tank as the recirculation
pump will be damaged if it is running dry.
Note:
Changing of cooling water should be done at least once a month.
IMPORTANT
Always maintain the correct concentration of Struers Additive in the cooling
water (percentage stated on the container of the Additive). Remember to
add Struers Additive each time you refill with water.
Do not use any oil, petrol, or turpentine-based additives, only Struers
additive.
