WORK STOP
The work stop is used to set a consistent cut length from 0 to 34 inches. The photo shows the stop at a short length, which
is adjusted with one or both of the locking handles. The bar with the actual stop attached to it can be removed, turned 180
degrees end for end, and inserted for longer lengths. The work stop may also be swung out of the work area when it is not
required.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT/CONTROLS
GUIDE ARM POSITIONING
The S23P II idler side guide arm is adjustable to accommodate varying material widths. The guide arm should be adjusted
as close to the material as possible while still allowing it to pass. This process of matching the guide arm spacing to the
material size is important to optimize blade life and ensure straightness of the cut.
To adjust the guide arm:
1. Move locking handle counter clockwise to release the handle.
2. Slide the guide arm to the required position.
3. Move locking handle clockwise to lock in to position.

COOLANT FLOW
The S23P II bandsaw is equipped with a coolant pump supplying coolant flow to four coolant outlets.
• The wash gun is provided for clearing chip accumulations.
• Guide arm coolant nozzles, one at each guide arm, are equipped with a flow control shut-off valve. The guide arm
nozzles should be adjusted to apply an even covering of coolant to the blade.
• The flexible nozzle can be pointed directly where necessary. It should be used when cutting wide work pieces,
bundles, or structurals. Set extra coolant into the saw kerf at about mid span of the cut. The flexible nozzle has a
flow control shut-off valve.
NOTE: When cutting materials that do not need constant coolant, such as cast iron, some coolant flow is still required for
blade lubrication to prevent blade scoring by carbide pads as the blade moves through them.
