HYDRAULIC OIL AND CUTTING FLUID
The H-40 bandsaw is supplied with Texaco 46 hydraulic oil. If it is necessary to change the oil to a different
brand see the HYDRAULIC SECTION for an equivalent grade oil.
No cutting fluid is supplied with the machine. There are two types of coolant available:
- oil based; dilute 1:10 ratio (one part concentrated coolant to 10 parts water)
- synthetic; dilute as recommended by the manufacturer.
H-40 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1) Machine location should be carefully selected. A flat concrete floor area should be chosen
and have enough free space surrounding the machine to enable free access for safe operation and
maintenance.
2) Cut strapping and remove conveyor drive & chip bucket from saw rollers.
3) Remove coolant tank & position at the left side of the saw (facing from front).
4) Remove leveling pads from inside coolant tank & place under saw base leveling bolts.
5) Check machine level from side to side & back to front. A slight incline (1/8"- 1/4" rear of saw higher)
will assist coolant flow back into return tray. Ideally if the machine is sitting flat on the floor & the
level is good do not touch leveling bolts. If leveling bolt adjustment is necessary use shims
supplied and place under 6 corners of base frame. Remove leveling bolts and re-check level. If level
is unchanged anchor machine to the floor using adjusting bolt holes.
6) Install infeed conveyor drive with bolts supplied. Install the conveyor drive chain.
