OPERATION
General Operating Instructions
1. Check Coolant: Low coolant level causes foaming and high blade temperatures. Dirty or
weak coolant can clog pump, causes crooked cuts, low cutting rate and permanent blade
failure. Dirty coolant causes the growth of bacteria with ensuing skin irritation.
2. Keep vise slides clean and oiled.
3. Clean chips from blade wheels and wheels housing.
4. Saw Guide: Keep saw guides properly adjusted. Loose guides will affect cutting accuracy.
5. Saw Blade: Make sure the saw blade is sharp.
6. Blade Speed: Make sure the blade speed sets correctly for workpiece material and shaped.
7. Check Blade Tension: Particularly after initial cuts with a new blade.
Starting and Stopping the Machine
1. Place the descent ON/OFF
valve (A) in the OFF position
and raise the saw bow high
enough to completely clear
the material to be cut.
2. With power connected to the
saw, turn the key switch (B) to
the ON position. The power
indicator lamp (C) will be
illuminated when the bow is
raised.
3. The machine is started by
pushing the start button (D)
and will continue to run until the saw bow is in the down position at the end of the cut, or
when the stop button (E) is pushed. Pushing the stop button will stop the motor at any time.
CAUTION:
Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
NEVER operate saw without blade guards in place.
