INSTALLATION
UNCRATING:

more carefully leveled to be certain that the coolant intake remains submerged.
CONNECT INCOMING POWER TO THE STARTER PER APPLICABLE DIAGRAM, AND IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ALL LOCAL CODES.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN THIS SAW UNTIL THE BLADE ALIGNMENT HAS BEEN CHECK
AS PER THE OWNER’S MANUAL AND THE BLADE HAS BEEN PROPERLY RE-

OPERATION
FEATURES
OFF/ON Switch:
Machines are equipped with a with low voltage, dropout protected
manual starter and a limit switch. When the machine frame reaches the end of its down
travel it contacts the limit switch, turning off the machine.
Blade Tension Handle:
To keep blade at proper tension turn the screw handle until it is
at tight as possible. Check every 8 operating hours and retighten to compensate for
possible stretching of the blades. Consult your blade manufacturer for the proper PSI
tension.
Guide Arms:
Guide arms should be set as close as possible to the work without
interfering. Loosen the handle on the left guide arm to slide arm along the top of the
frame, once in desired location tighten the handle to lock guide arm in place.
Hydraulic Control:
The hydraulic control cylinder mounted on the rear of the machine is
operated by a control valve mounted on the front of the machine head. To close the
valve, turn the control to the right. When the valve is completely closed, the frame will
remain stationary, the desired position. To open the valve, turn the control left. Opening
of the valve will control the descending speed of frame (or head) and does not control
frame weight. This control is mainly used for cutting pipe or thin-walled tubing, structural,
etc., to prevent plunging of the saw blade.
