CHAPTER V: OPERATION
In this section, the functions of the machine will described to guide the operator to become
familiar with the machine and its components.
1- Control Panel
The following figure shows a general view of the machine control panel. The control elements on
the panel will be described next.

The main switch is located on the door of the control panel. When this switch is turned on,
the LCD display comes on, indicating that the machine is ready to operate.
Emergency Stop
The "Emergency stop" push button stops all functions of the machine. The machine will
not function until "Emergency stop button’ is released. To release the emergency button,
turn it in the direction indicated on its hub.
Caution: The "Emergency stop" push button does not disconnect the machine from the
main power supply. To avoid from serious injury or death due to electricity shock, turn the
main power switch off or disconnect the machine from the main supply before servicing it.
Bow Rate Valve
The bow rate valve is used to adjust the speed at which the blade (saw head) feeds into the
workpiece during cutting. When this valve is set to zero, the blade does not feed into the
material. To increase the feed rate; turn the valve in the direction in which the arbitrary
numbers increase.
Vice Pressure Valve
The vice pressure valve is used to adjust the pressure which the saw frame applies to the
work stock during cutting. The feed pressure can be easily adjusted via a colour coded
feed pressure selector.
