Two switches limit the stroke of the bow:
Bow Down Limit Switch
(G) – can be adjusted
via the stop screw.
Bow Up Limit Switch (H) – can be adjusted via
the sliding bracket on which the bearing is
mounted.
10.6 Coolant System
The coolant tank is located at the right side within
the base. The coolant pump/motor is mounted on
a plate on top of the coolant reservoir. A coolant
level sight gauge is provided on the right side of
the machine, as well as a coolant overflow hole
and drain plug.
The coolant pump must be
submerged in fluid before operating to prevent
damage to the pump.
Coolant flow is activated using the switch on the
control panel. Coolant is supplied to the blade
guides, the spray nozzle, and the blade brush.
Flow to individual areas can be regulated using the
appropriate valve. For the guides and nozzle,
adjust the valves located above the rail (Figure
12). The flow should be no more than the blade
can draw into the workpiece at current speed. The
chip brush has its own valve lever.
The general-purpose coolant can be a mixture of
water-soluble oil or synthetic solution and water.
Mix the soluble oil with water in the ratios
recommended by the supplier of the coolant.
There are numerous coolants on the market that
are formulated for special applications. Consult
your local distributor for details in the event you
have a long range production task, or are required
to cut some of the more exotic materials.
10.7 Hydraulic System
Refer to Figure 13.
1. Check fluid level in the sight glass. If level is
below the upper line, the reservoir should be
filled.
2. Disconnect electrical power.
3. Remove the cover.
4. Open reservoir fill cap and add fluid until top
level is reached in the sight glass.
5. If a significant amount of oil needs to be
added, check for oil leaks in pump
components, lines, and hydraulic cylinder.
Correct the source of leakage before operating
the band saw.
6. Re-connect electrical power and raise and
lower the bow to confirm that the saw is
operating correctly.
