LOGOSOL BS350
Cooling the Saw Blade
You can cool the bandsaw blade with water, but
there are also additives which you can mix in the
water to improve the lubrication.
Fill the two connected bottles with water. Together,
the both bottles hold 2 litres. This is normally
enough for 2-4 logs. When sawing fresh timber, the
water flow should be approx. 4 drops per second.
Increase the flow when sawing dry timber.
The water supply is controlled by a solenoid valve
which opens when the motor starts running and
closes when the motor stops. The flow is adjusted
with the handle on the tube.
TIP:
Keep a water container nearby the sawmill so
that you can easily refill the water bottle.
Avoid getting sawdust in the water bottles.
If the water supply stops:
1. Loosen the tube from the copper pipe down by
the saw blade and blow the copper pipe clean
using compressed air.
If this does not help:
2. Remove the saw blade and remount the plastic
safety cover.
3. Empty the bottles and let them stay open.
4. Open the water-flow balancing valve
completely.
5. Loosen the tube from the copper pipe down by
the saw blade.
6. Start the motor so that the solenoid valve opens,
and blow compressed air through the back way
of the tube.
If water is still not supplied, it can be due to a
defective solenoid valve. Contact Logosol.
To prevent the solenoid valve and the balancing
valve from freezing, empty the water system if
there is risk of the bandsaw getting exposed to
temperatures below 0
°
C.
Add glycol to the water when using the saw in
temperatures below 0
°
C.
