PROBLEM CAUSE
- Carbide guide adjustment incorrect (adjust).
- Feed rate excessive (reduce).
- Blade worn (replace).
- Guide arms too far apart.
- Blade Pitch Incorrect .
- Angle not set correctly(adjust).
- Stock not square in vise. (reset material)
- Angle pointer out of adjustment.
- Stock is not secure in the vise. (reset vise)
- Cylinder seals defective (replace).
- Head valve defective (replace).
- Hydraulic hose leaking.
- Loosen jam nut and adjust pointer with feed rate at zero.
- Improper tension (adjust).
- Tracking needs adjustment.
- Wheel is worn or in poor condition.
- More tension needed.
- Excessive feed rate (reduce).
- Blade pitch incorrect.
- Carbide guides overtightened.
- Blade speed too fast.
- More blade tension needed.
- Guide arms too far apart.
- Feed rate too slow (increase).
- Carbide guides worn or loose (adjust or replace).
NOTE: New blades tend to vibrate until they are “broken in”.
- Excessive blade tension (reduce).
- Excessive feed rate (reduce).
- Top guide(s) damaged (replace).
- No coolant (add).
- Check coolant ports for blockage.
- Line blockage (blow out lineswith compressed air).
- Coolant pump inoperable (replace).
- Coolant pump has lost its prime, loosen screws, sink pump in
