HYDRAULIC START
To start the hydraulic system, the switches for the head and both vises must be in the
“NEUTRAL” position. The “HYDRAULIC START” button must be depressed and held in
momentarily until the PLC display becomes active.
CYCLE START / PAUSE
This button starts the cutting cycle and will stay illuminated until the cycle is completed. The
PLC control system will prompt you to start the blade if it is not running. The
machine will then begin the automatic cycle until completed when it will shut itself off. The
current cycle can be PAUSED by pressing this button at any time during a cycle and
restarted by pressing it again.
COOLANT
This switch has three positions, AUTO, OFF, and ON. In the ON position, the coolant system
will operate when there is power to the machine; this allows using the wash gun to clean
the machine. In the OFF position, the coolant system is inactive. In the AUTO position the
coolant system will only run when the blade is on. The coolant system can also be run only
when both the blade is on and the head is descending by selecting this option in the PLC
parameters.
SHUTTLE 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.
BLADE STOP
Stops the blade. If the blade is stopped during a cycle, the cycle will continue but will not let
the head descend until the blade is started.
EMERGENCY STOP
This mushroom button stops the blade and hydraulic motors. Both vises will hold their
position but, pressure will begin to fall off. Long pieces of work should always be supported
so they will not become loose over time and fall while the machine is shut down. This is a
latched button and must be pulled out to start the machine.
WORK LAMP
This option switch has two positions: OFF and ON.
BLADE SPEED
50 to 350 SFM(Surface Feet/Minute) (15 to 107 m/min)
Adjustment should be made only when the blade is running. Clockwise rotation of the knob
increases blade speed while counter clockwise rotation decreases blade speed.
