COOLANT FLOW
A generous flow of coolant should be applied in order to increase production and blade
life. The machine is provided with a control switch on the operator panel and an in-
dependently controlled coolant spout. This spout should always flood the blade with
coolant. Slight adjustment may be required when changing the blade speed. A properly
adjusted flow of coolant should cover the blade which in turn will carry it into the cutting
area. The flow adjusting tap is shown on the Console in the photo.
NOTE: When cutting materials that do not need coolant (cast iron) some coolant flow is
required to provide blade lubrication in order to prevent blade scoring by the carbides.
RESTRICTIONS - HEAD SWING LEFT
With the head swung to the left and below 38°, the upper guide arm can be positioned over its full range only for a work
piece less than 18” wide. For work pieces wider than 18” and left mitre angles less than 38°, the guide arm position must
be kept high enough to avoid interference between the rear of the guide arm and the left fixed vise jaw.
The following table may be used as a guide:
Left Mitre Angle
Minimum Distance.
Upper Guide to Table Top.
Measure with Head at 90°
Less Than 38° 9
Less Than 36° 17
Less Than 34° 21
OUT OF STOCK COLLAR
The collar is located on the lower guide shaft of the barfeed’s movable vise, and
is locked in position by a brass thumbscrew. The action of the collar is to trip a
limit switch and shut down the saw when the vise closes without encountering a
work piece.
Proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the thumbscrew, move the collar to the outer end of the shaft, and
re-tighten.
2. Start the saw and clamp the barfeed vise on the work piece.
3. Loosen the thumbscrew, move the collar in until it just touches the limit
switch, and re-tighten.
If the Out Of Stock limit switch is tripped during any automatic cycle, the cycle is
halted when the saw is shut down. However, the PLC retains all job and que information, including quantities cut, so that
when the cycle is manually restarted, it will continue from the same point.
PRIMING THE COOLANT PUMP
The coolant pump needs to be primed after the initial installation of the machine. This
is done by opening the priming valve (Located at the back side of the machine) and
changing the coolant control to the “ON” mode on the control interface. The valve can
be closed after some coolant sprays out of the primer hose (Wait a couple of minutes).
