Notes:

If your cut list has less than six parts you should enter Qty=0 in the field after the last part entered. The
machine will ignore all data in the cut list after this point during operation.

As you cut more bar stock the counter will count total cuts during the session. Therefore cuts counter will
be higher than the quantity entered and count up as high as you keep cutting. To reset the cuts counter
press on the cuts panel. This will reset all counters to zero.

The machine cuts the six-part pattern entered for each bar stock input providing the pattern fits on the
bar stock length. If the cut list is too long for the bar stock length, the machine will detect it can not
complete the full list and instead complete as much as it is possible for it to cut, then ending the process
as normal. Counter will reflect actual bars cut, i.e. incomplete cutting.

The machine can be tasked to cut and count a very large qty of cuts (i.e. not “per bar” jobbing but
absolute number of cuts required). To do this, set Part 2 to Qty=0 and then set Part 1 to the length
required and any number of qty of cuts. The machine will keep cutting and counting with each bar stock
up until all cuts are completed.
3.3 Semi-Automatic and Length Stop Mode
You can use the machine in semi-automatic mode and feeder as a length stop if you need to use it as a manual
saw. The guard will need to be down for the saw to run in the semi-automatic mode.
1. Press LENGTH STOP panel on the Main Screen to go to Length Stop screen. This will take you to the
length stop screen (Figure 3.9).
Figure 3.9 – Length Stop Screen
2. You will need to setup initially the stop minimum length. To do this, command the stop to go to position
0. Cut one length using this setting and measure it. Enter this value as the stop minimum length. Once
this value is set, it remains set ongoing.
3. Enter the cut length you want and press GO. Feeder head will move to this position and you can slide
stock through and cut using semi-auto cutting on the saw as detailed in Figure 3.10.
