  Coolant flow 

 Coolant pump must be 

submerged before operating to prevent damage 
to pump. 

The blade guides are fitted with coolant valves. 
Coolant is provided to the fittings through 
interconnecting tubing, and is dispensed directly 
onto saw blade. 

Adjust coolant flow valves atop blade guide brackets 
to provide desired flow. The flow should be no more 
than blade can draw into the workpiece by its 
movement through the material. 

The coolant flow can be stopped in two ways: Turn 
off coolant pump switch on control panel, or close 
coolant flow valves. 

8.0

  Control panel 

Refer to Figure 8-1. 

Power Indicator Light (A)

 – illuminates whenever 

machine is running. 

  If  bulb  is  out,  light  will  not  be 

on but machine may still have power. 

Emergency Stop Button (B)

 – Press to immediately 

stop all machine functions. To restart machine, 
rotate button clockwise until it disengages. 

Coolant Switch (C)

 – Turn arrow to “I” to turn on 

coolant flow. Turn arrow to “O” to stop coolant flow. 

Stop Button (D)

 – Press to stop motor/blade. 

Coolant will still flow. 

Start Button (E)

 – Press to start motor/blade. 

Feed Rate Control (F)

 – Sets amount of downward 

force that is applied to saw blade. The feed rate is 
proportional to opening of valve. Increasing valve 
opening (counterclockwise) increases feed rate; 
decreasing valve opening (clockwise) reduces feed 
rate. When set to zero, bow is locked in raised 
position.

  Operation 

9.1

  Automatic shut-off 

9.1.1

  Cut completion 

The machine and any accessories which are wired 
into the electrical system are controlled by the start-
stop buttons. Saw will automatically shut off when 
cut is completed. The limit switch (A, Figure 9-1), 
contacts top of hydraulic cylinder (B) and 
deactivates motor. 

 

Figure 9-1:  auto shut-off switch 

9.1.2

  Blade breakage 

If blade breaks during operation, a sensor near drive 
wheel will shut off the saw (Figure 9-2). 

 

Figure 9-2:  blade break sensor 

9.2

  Auxiliary coolant hose 

The saw is equipped with auxiliary coolant hose and 
spray nozzle. This can be used to direct greater 
volume of coolant at workpiece, or for washing off 
table area. 

9.3

  Prior to Operation 

1.  Check that blade tooth direction matches 

diagram on blade guard, and blade guides are 
properly set. 

2.  Check gauge to verify proper blade tension. 

Make adjustments if needed. 

3.  Check to see that blade is properly seated on 

wheels after applying correct tension.
