Feed Rate Valve
The feed 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.
Feed Pressure Valve
The feed 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.
2- Blade Changing Procedure
In order to achieve accurate and efficient cuts, it is important to use a sharp and correct blade
for the material being cut.
1- Raise the saw frame to its highest position
2- Turn the hand-wheel to left to loosen the blade.
3- Switch off the main power switch of the machine.
Caution: Avoid serious injury by turning the machine's power off at the main switch before
adjusting, servicing, or cleaning the saw.
