THE ConTRol ConsolE
sTaRT-UP
The H-4/8/22 control console has been designed to simplify the operation of the saw, to give the operator the ability to
stop any function at any time, and to be able to control all the functions remotely. We cannot overstress the importance of
familiarizing yourself with the controls of the H-4/8/22 prior to starting the machine.
noTEs :
. ALL SWITCHES MUST BE IN THE CENTER NEUTRAL POSITION TO START THE MACHINE!
2. WHEN STARTING THE MACHINE FOR THE FIRST TIME MAKE SURE THAT BLADE IS MOVING IN A
COUNTERCLOCKWISE DIRECTION, AND THAT THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE IS 700 PSI (H-4),000
PSI (H-8) AND 00 PSI (H-22). IF THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE PRESSURE, SHUT THE SAW DOWN AND
CHANGE THE PHASE ORDER AS STATED IN SECTION .
fRonT VIsE - This switch has three positions, OPEN, HOLD and CLOSE. With the switch held in
the OPEN position the vise will open all the way or until the switch is released. With
the switch in the HOLD position, the vise will stay where it is and will not move freely
although it will not resist a large force indefinitely without creeping. In CLOSE, the
vise will close all the way, or until it encounters enough resistance to stop it.
HEaD ConTRol - This switch has three positions: UP, HOLD and DOWN. The switch is inactive unless
the PLC is in manual mode. In the UP position, the head will rise until it trips the head
up limit which is adjustable via the PLC. In the HOLD position the head will stay still.
In the DOWN position the head will descend until it reaches the bottom of the stroke.
The speed of descent is controlled by the Head Feed and Head Force Limit controls.
blaDE sTaRT - The blade can be started only when the hydraulics are running in either manual or
auto mode.
noTE : In automatic Mode the head will not descend until the blade has been started, which the PLC will
prompt the operator to do so.
