BASIC OPERATION
1. Be certain correct wiring is matched to motor.
2. Always keep flanges clean and tight against the abrasive wheel.
3. Be certain work piece is securely clamped in the vise. Any movement in the
work piece during cutting will result in broken abrasive cutoff blades.
4. Down stop screw
(#61)
located on bracket located under the saw arm
(#7)
must be adjusted so the abrasive wheel does not cut into the saw base. Adjust
the screw up when installing a new wheel so as not to allow the wheel to cut
into the saw base. Keep adjusting the screw down as the wheel ears so you can
cut thru the work piece.
5. Keep the blade guard in the down position at all times. Guarding is designed
for abrasive blades only.
DO NOT USE STEEL TOOTHED BLADES!!!
GUARDING IS NOT DESIGNED FOR STEEL TOOTHED BLADES
PER OSHA AND ANSI STANDARDS.
6. Select the correct high speed wheel for the material. Every wheel performs
differently. Consult your dealer or wheel manufacturer for the correct high
speed cutoff blade selection for your material.
7. Saw spindle speed is set at 4,400 SPFM select cutoff wheel that's designed to
run at 4,400 SPFM or greater. Using cutoff wheel's designed to run under
4,400 SPM could cause wheel failure and could cause serious injury to
operator. Contact the wheel manufacturer or dealer for the correct wheel.
8. Always follow safety procedures. Wear safety glasses, never wear gloves or
loose fitting clothing that can get caught in the moving parts and tie back loose
hair. Always keep hands out of sawing area when cutting. See attached safety
sheet.
9. V-belts will stretch with use over time. Keep v-belts tight with 1/2" of
"squeeze". Use a v-belt tensioner to tighten v-belt belt. Keep both faces of
spindle and motor pulley aligned in the same plan with a straight edge. Check
motor and spindle pulleys set set prior to operating the machine.
