MAINTENACNE:
•
Disconnect machine from power source when making repairs.
•
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the saw, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
•
Disconnect tools before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits,
cutters, etc.
•
Make sure that the blade tension is properly adjusted. The gauge when properly
tensioned will show the needle in the “green” zone.
•
Re-check blade tension after initial cut with new blade.
•
To prolong blade life always releases blade tension at the end of each work day.
•
Check coolant daily. Low coolant level can cause foaming and high blade temperatures.
Dirty or weak coolant can clog pump. This can cause low cutting rate and permanent
blade failure. Dirty coolant can cause the growth of bacteria with ensuring skin irritation.
•
When cutting magnesium never use soluble oils or emulsions (oil-water mix) as water will
greatly intensify any accidental magnesium chip fire. See your industrial coolant supplier
for specific coolant recommendations when cutting magnesium.
•
To prevent corrosion of machined surfaces when a soluble on is used as coolant, pay
particular attention to wiping dry the surfaces where fluid accumulates and does not
evaporate quickly, such as between the machine bed and vise.
SPECIFIC USAGE:
This machine is used for general metals cutting within the range of cutting capacity.
SAFETY DEVICE:
By the time the saw arm cover is opened, the interlock switch will function to stop the all
involvement. Do not remove this switch from machine for any reason and check its function
frequency.
